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
Joey was puzzled. "Is it that hard to accept? Kenneth can also be bullied, okay? Just because he's a man doesn't mean this isn't a serious matter."Zachary became serious. "I'm not saying it isn't serious. I just think you could be a bit more tactful with your words.""I'm being serious!" Joey snapped."Yes, I understand. My initial guess is that Brook is involved in some shady business. You know what Kenneth's parents do."If they ally with the Yates family, and something goes wrong, the Yates family will try to help them out to avoid any collective punishment," Zachary replied promptly.He was smart and quickly grasped Brook's intention."That's because Kenneth's parents are in a position where they can't afford any mistakes," Zachary continued.Joey acknowledged with a hum."Yvonne's on their side, but she has her eyes on me. They likely wanted to create an opportunity for Brook's daughter to marry Kenneth."If it was just for minor benefits, they wouldn't go to such length
Hanson drove a long way before quietly getting out of the car and leaving.Before coming here, he had received a call from Zachary, who told him that Brook had appeared in the Golden Triangle.Hanson, who had always worried about him, felt relieved to know he was safe.Zachary knew far more than he did. Without needing further explanation, Hanson understood that Brook was likely involved in Selena being sent to the Golden Triangle.After all, Zachary had previously exposed Brook's ties to human trafficking.Even though a butler had taken the fall back then, Hanson now realized that Brook was far from simple.He messaged Zachary. "When are you coming to Imperia?"Zachary responded, "Not for now. Brook must still be investigating me. As long as I don't show up, he'll remain anxious. When people are anxious, they make mistakes. Just keep an eye on things for me."After agreeing, Hanson subconsciously tightened his grip on his phone.He hadn't expected someone like Brook to exist
