Chapter 131 Meeting Samuel Again

Joey did not wait for Zachary. When Zachary was done comforting Rose, only Kent and Julia remained at the corridor's entrance.At the sight of Zachary, Julia approached him with concern, asking, "How is Grandma doing?"Zachary's gaze was not very friendly. However, he maintained a normal tone of voice when he replied, "Nothing too serious. But in the future, you're not allowed to have any contact with my grandmother."Julia, feeling a bit hurt by his words, replied, "Zachary, Grandma might need someone to talk to because of her age. I could keep her company and talk to her."Her words caught Zachary's attention. Under his serious scrutiny, Julia felt a bit flustered, and her eyes began to dart around the room. Biting her lip, she softly asked, "What's wrong?"Kent stood nearby, calmly observing the situation."I don't like people who cross boundaries," Zachary replied nonchalantly.Hearing that, Julia gulped. Quietly, she replied, "I got it.""As long as you abide by the

Chapter 132 Samuel Is Not So Innocent

Neither of them noticed Zachary.Smiling, Samuel said, "Saying that makes you seem distant. I've invested quite a bit in this drama, so of course, I hope it gets good reviews upon its release."Joey had benefited greatly that day. "Let me treat you to a meal another day.""In that case, you owe me two meals. You have to treat me tomorrow night. Bring me to a place with snacks and a lively atmosphere," Samuel said, heading toward the steps at the hotel entrance. "Come, I'll take you back. I made sure I didn't drink today, so you don't have to worry.""Uh, I can take a cab myself," Joey hesitated, following him.Casually, Samuel twirled the keys with his fingers in a familiar motion. "You're being too formal."Joey let out an awkward laugh. She couldn't quite understand Samuel's intentions, but it wasn't appropriate to treat him so coldly after he helped her.As she was about to accompany Samuel to the parking lot, a Bugatti, which bore a license plate she was familiar with, s

Chapter 133 Unlike You

Zachary did not have any intimate interactions with Joey that night, which was rare.Until three in the morning, he still couldn't figure out why Joey had changed. She had been using the pseudonym "Chloe" for the past three years when taking orders. It wasn't something that happened after she started working. After much contemplation, he thought it might have slowly changed after Julia appeared. Could it be that she was jealous of Julia?Suddenly, Zachary seemed to have an epiphany. He glanced at Joey, who was asleep, and inched closer to her. Joey felt herself being pulled into Zachary's embrace. Instead of resisting, she chose to comply.The next morning, when Joey came out of her room, she was surprised to see Zachary having breakfast with her grandmother. He was gentle as if nothing had happened between them last night.As she sat down, her grandmother grinned at her as she served her a bowl of stew. "Thank you, Grandma," Joey said."I feel relieved that you two are fine.

Chapter 134 Joey the Bachelorette

As the car approached the studio, Zachary didn't unlock it. Instead, he turned to Joey and said, "Your collaboration with Samuel needs to be terminated urgently. If you do that, Kent won't require you to pay the penalty fee.""If you have to add a bunch of conditions to make a concession, you can save it." With that, Joey reached to open the door. Finding that she couldn't open it, she took a deep breath and turned to Zachary. Zachary looked at her calmly. "Joey, it's pointless for you to make a fuss. You kept talking about divorce previously, then you brought up various reasons to stay together. What are you doing right now?"Joey replied, "Open the door, I'm going to work.""Regarding the collaboration with Samuel—""It's not up to me; I'm just an employee," Joey said, interrupting Zachary coldly.Zachary stared her down. "Open the door," Joey said, pushing the car door.Finally, Zachary unlocked the door.He couldn't argue with what she said. He had investigated Emmen

Chapter 135 The Aggressive Love Rival

After the assistant hung up the call on Joey's phone, she shook her head and muttered under her breath, "Ms. Linton is not married. What the heck is he saying?"Having said that, she glanced into the office, where Samuel was chatting with Joey. Instantly, a smile appeared on her face. Even though Ms. Linton had a great on-screen chemistry with Mr. Gray, Julia was a fan of pure romance. Zachary buying a bag for Julia during the show had turned the assistant against their ship.Hence, she decided to support the Samuel-and-Joey ship instead. When she heard that Samuel was Joey's senior, she envisioned a heartbreaking campus romance.When the phone rang again, she picked it up. Realizing it was the same number as before, she impatiently answered."My dear sister-in-law!" Kent called anxiously."Who are you? Ms. Linton is not married. What are you calling her?" the assistant said fiercely.Zachary took Kent's phone to ask, "Where's Joey?"The assistant paused for a moment. That voi

Chapter 136 Is Zachary Pursuing You?

At that moment, Kent suddenly spoke, "Zachary, why don't we let Ms. Linton share a car with Samuel? After all, they are the ones treating, and it's good for them to discuss."Zachary glanced at him to see him signaling desperately with his eyes. Zachary let go of Joey's hand. After calmly looking him in the eyes, she left.Not expecting her to leave so decisively, Kent stole a glance at Zachary. Zachary wore a stoic expression, not revealing any psychological changes within him. However, Kent still felt a bit worried."Zachary ..." Kent whispered."Let's talk in the car," Zachary muttered.With that, he left. When Joey reached Samuel's car, she saw the double R emblem on his car and couldn't help noting how flashy the car was. Samuel was surprised to see her coming over. "Didn't Mr. Gray want to be with you? Why did you come over?""Well, I don't know." Joey walked over and opened the door.With a smile playing on his lips, Samuel asked, "Mr. Gray looks like he's pursuing yo

Chapter 137 Not Catering to Anyone

Joey picked up the plate and stood up. With an indifferent expression on her face, she replied, "Because, for three years, I've told you so many times and never bothered about it. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I feel it's pointless that you want to know now."She walked into the kitchen and started washing the dishes. When she was just done with the dishes, Zachary hugged her from behind and kissed her ear."Joey, tell me. For the past three years—""If you want to do it, do it quickly. Don't delay my sleep; I have to get up early tomorrow," Joey interrupted his soft words of service.Zachary pinched her waist. "Stubborn, aren't you?"Joey winced from the pinch and furrowed her beautiful brows. "Are you doing it or not? If you're not doing it, get out. Anyway, I wasn't home for a week, and neither were you. You came home for a different taste after you got sick of Julia, right?""I was at the Gray Estate this week. Why are you making wild guesses? You keep denying

Chapter 138 Countryside Mentality

Joey had genuinely had enough. Not only did she ignore his feelings, but she also no longer cared about Grandma's advice."Come on, what can she do? Why bother going out when she's got a supposedly capable husband like you? Thinking about scraping together a few measly bucks – typical countryside mentality." Rose scoffed. Zachary used to dislike Joey, so he usually shrugged off such remarks instantly. But now, as he listened closely, those words felt like thorns stabbing at his heart."Grandma, have you always talked to her like this?" Zachary suddenly asked."What's the deal? Do you think I'm making this up? She's been leeching off us for three years, burning through millions, and her belly's as silent as ever," Rose grumbled with disdain.Zachary, unfazed, responded, "I've always said I don't want kids. Why make it difficult for her? Why did you call her back today?"His tone carried a hint of anger. Rose, sensing it, stammered, "I got a doctor to check on her.""It won't c

Chapter 139 Not Happy With You

Joey instinctively turned off location sharing. When she was pacing back and forth, debating whether to call back, Zachary's call came through.Joey took a deep breath, answered the call, and casually asked, "What is it?""You do know I'm on my way, don't you?" Zachary sounded displeased. It was evident he was upset about Joey turning off location sharing."Well … what's the issue?" Joey asked calmly.Zachary replied, "Then why did you turn it off? Share your location and wait for me.""Why are you coming over?" Joey's voice held a touch of annoyance. She wasn't exactly thrilled about Zachary dropping by."Your location."Pursing her lips in mild annoyance, Joey reluctantly shared her location with Zachary, Baffled by his insistence to show up, Joey was a bit puzzled and annoyed.Zachary pulled up in his car, spotting Joey by the hotel entrance, looking at her phone. He honked. Joey furrowed her brows and looked in his direction.The evening streetlights cast a glow on he

Chapter 140 I Was Wrong

Joey got up, ready to leave."You do know a thing or two about styling, right? Can't you help me pick an outfit?" Zachary said from behind her.Joey turned around. Walking over to his suitcase, she pulled out some clothes and put together a smoky gray ensemble. "If you're tagging along, opt for lighter colors. Dark ones soak up the sun and get pretty warm.""Got it." Zachary's eyes twinkled with a hint of a grin. After Zachary finished getting ready, Joey and he grabbed breakfast together. At the same time, Selena sent her a screenshot.Julia's comment where she clarified about Joey being Zachary's cousin, caught the attention of various media outlets. Joey shrugged it off.The sun was already up at 7:30 a.m. Joey was checking out fabrics at the market, and Zachary was just tagging along."This isn't real wool. The genuine stuff doesn't feel prickly, and it starts a bit cool before warming up," Joey explained, planning to check out another store.Outside, Zachary suddenly sa
