When Selena arrived at Emmen, she found Joey still sitting behind a pile of documents and busy working.She tiptoed over and looked around curiously, wondering how Joey could be so calm."If you're free, help me with these documents," Joey suddenly looked up and said to her.Selena immediately stood straight, hesitating as she looked at Joey."Speak up if you have something to say." Joey closed the document and leaned back. She showed a boss-like posture and raised her chin to look at Selena."After what you've posted online about Zachary's incident, how can you still be in the mood to handle all this?" Selena implied that Joey should be investigating Zachary's whereabouts while she handled the work."I can only do that much for him, and he has to handle the rest himself. What does it have to do with me whether he's dead or not?" Joey said as she picked up another document to read.Henry was doing his best to hide things from her, so why should she bother? He was Zachary's trust
Joey held his hand for a while. Just as she was about to let go, Zachary's hand moved slightly before holding hers.His hand was not warm, and his grip was gentle.Instinctively, Joey looked at Zachary and found him looking back at her. His eyes were not as bright as before and appeared weak.His lips moved under the oxygen mask.Joey leaned closer. "What?""I was… waiting for you," Zachary said softly.When Monica visited that day, Zachary had already regained consciousness, but it was difficult for him to stay awake.His body lacked the energy to support his consciousness, so he could only listen to their conversations during his brief moments of wakefulness and use his eyelids to convey messages.He knew his body was severely damaged and needed rest to recover.He wanted to save his strength to wait for Joey and see her.Joey tilted her head to look at him.Zachary couldn't move his body, so he strained his eyes to look at her. Meanwhile, Joey sat up straight, held his ha
Joey got out of the car in front of Gray Group and walked into the building as she called Shane.As she entered, the receptionist gasped and secretly took a photo of her before posting it online."Ah, Chloe is here in my office. She's even better looking in real life. Her fashion sense is admirable! I want to ask her for her autograph and take a picture with her!"Her tweet, paired with Joey's photo, instantly sparked envy and admiration among fans."Where do you work? Are they hiring? I'll join right now!""OMG, Chloe looks so cool! I love her style!""Jealousy is turning me green!"While her fans continued to comment, the receptionist had already started talking to Joey."I'm here to see Mr. Shane. I have an appointment with him," Joey said gently to the blushing young woman."Oh, okay. Please sign here and take the elevator to the fifth floor. Mr. Shane works there," the receptionist said as she thought to herself how wonderful Chloe's voice sounded and how beautiful she wa
Joey had only been back in Imperia for two days when Henry called her."Ms. Linton, please come and see Mr. Gray. He's eating but still hasn't woken up," Henry pleaded tearfully.He hadn't intended for news of Zachary's condition to leak out. Now, he had not only angered Joey but also Zachary.Zachary nearly fainted again in his fury when he learned that Joey was the only one who had been kept in the dark.Henry thought if Joey didn't come to see Zachary soon, Shane would get promoted, and he would be demoted once Zachary fully recovered."You should call a doctor, and I'm not one," Joey replied coldly."Ms. Linton, I was wrong to keep you in the dark. Please come to see him for my sake. If you come, I'll pray for you every day, wishing you success in all your endeavors!"Henry thought if Joey were in front of him, he would kneel for her right now.Joey's voice remained icy. "I'm very busy with work. Call a doctor if you need help."With that, she hung up.Henry looked at Zac
Zachary was both disappointed and a little angry."Won't you consider a severely injured patient's feelings? Talking like this will slow my recovery," Zachary said to Joey in an aggrieved tone.Joey crossed her arms and looked at him expressionlessly.Zachary suddenly felt his momentum drop. He was frustrated that he could not stand due to his slow recovery."What can you do about it? Henry said from now on, I come first, and you come second. Watch your words, or I'll have your former subordinate beat you up," Joey said arrogantly regardless of Zachary's condition.Zachary laughed in exasperation. "Did Henry say that?""I'm paying him five thousand a month. Why wouldn't he say that?" Joey retorted.She was protective of Henry, who had lost an eye for her and could no longer stay with Zachary."Fine, fine. I reprimanded him yesterday, and he looked for you for comfort today. I didn't realize he could be such a pussy," Zachary said and suddenly clutched his chest in pain as he dr
Zachary was very surprised that Brook was still alive.He thought that in that situation, with Brook standing next to the person in charge of that entertainment venue while the thugs were firing indiscriminately, Brook wouldn't have been able to escape.Unexpectedly, he managed to survive. It was clear that he had prepared well before going abroad.Zachary's eyes turned cold. "It seems dealing with Brook will require more effort.""Stop thinking about dealing with anyone for now. The important thing is to take care of your health first."Joey was frustrated that as soon as he woke up, he was already filled with schemes and plots. How could he recover like this?Zachary leaned back on the bed and looked at her. "If I die, would you marry Kenneth?"Joey raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I won't marry him just because you're alive?"That was a harsh blow."Focus on recovering. I need to go back to Imperia soon." Joey didn't want to discuss her relationship with Zachary. She was
Monica could only give up after seeing how stubborn Joey was.She had tried to persuade Joey on Zachary's behalf, but she knew Joey's stubborn nature. There was only this much she could do. The rest would depend on their fate."Grandma, I'm going back to Imperia." Joey insisted on leaving.With so many people taking care of Zachary, she had nothing to worry about.Besides, being here reminded her of the days when Rose was constantly critical and oppressive toward her. Even thinking about those painful days for a second made her feel suffocated.After she left, Harold kept sighing.Standing at the door, he said to Monica, "This place holds too many unpleasant memories for her. Staying here would only make her uncomfortable."…Back in Imperia, Joey had just gotten off the plane when she ran into Kenneth, who was returning from an event."Did you go on another business trip?" Kenneth sounded delighted to see her. How could he be so lucky to run into her at the airport?"No, I j
Henry walked ahead with Joey following closely. They quickly reached the designated room."I'm opening the door," Henry informed Joey, who nodded.As Henry inserted the key card, she tilted slightly to peek inside.Henry instructed Joey to wait at the door while he went in alone.Upon entering the bedroom, Henry was taken aback to find Kenneth lying naked on the bed.The room was filled with a heavy scent, clearly indicating something had already happened.Kenneth's face was flushed, and his breathing was irregular. He was probably drugged, but Henry couldn't tell whether he did it out of his willingness.The room was a mess.Henry walked over, covered Kenneth with a blanket, and took out his phone to call Joey.Joey was surprised to receive the call. Could she not go in?"What's wrong?" she asked as she answered the call."He's been drugged. I don't know what to do," Henry said. Kenneth was a major celebrity, so taking him to the hospital was out of the question.It was cl
