Chapter171 She Seems To Really Like You

When the jog ended, Kenneth suddenly asked Joey, "Have … have your grandparents not talked to you about your parents before?""Nope. They were probably worried that I'd be upset. I've never asked since they weren't willing to talk. That's not bad."He hummed. When she returned to the hotel lobby, Kenneth, who was still outside, could not help but furrow his brows. As her cousin, did Zachary not tell her about her parents?Zachary was waiting for her in the lobby. He could see Kenneth, who looked like he was pondering something, through the glass. When Joey neared him, he asked, "The both of you were quite chatty. What did he say to you?""That's none of your business. The New Year is about to start, yet you have not returned home?" She wiped her sweat with the towel on her shoulder. Her face was red and so was her neck. He followed her into the elevator. He leaned on the wall. His gaze focused on her. "Before this, Kenneth did not know you at all. Later, he suddenly got close

Chapter172 Let's Celebrate the New Year Together

Work ended early on New Year's Day. Cinna prepared dinner at the hotel while Joey drank. She then returned to her room for a shower, and she realized it had started snowing.The snowflakes fell gently outside her window. She had initially planned to video call her Grandma. However, the alcohol flowed non-stop. By the time she stopped drinking, it was already around 10:00 p.m. She leaned against the window as she watched a TV series. Through her daze, she heard the sound of knocking on the door.She paused the show and turned to listen for a moment. Upon hearing more knocks, she got up to open the door. She was surprised to see Zachary outside. "Aren't you accompanying your Grandma for the New Year?""She's already asleep, so I came over. It's not midnight yet. I made it in time."He entered the room. He wore a wool coat, and there were water droplets on his scarf. It was probably snow which had melted after landing on the scarf. Joey closed the door. She frowned and said, "It

Chapter173 Kenneth's Goal

The song that she loved was not very popular. Combined with the gloves and the date, she could not convince herself that it was a coincidence."What a pity. Kenneth is truly handsome. Speaking of which, how are things between you and … Zachary?"After pondering it for a moment, she said, "Pretty good."However, Zachary's current actions seemed like a belated expression of affection rather than a cheap afterthought."I have to get to work. I'll call you tonight." She quickly finished her words as she saw the actors reaching the trailer one by one. She then hung up the phone.Upon seeing that she had hung up the phone, Kenneth took a few steps and caught up with her."Happy New Year." His voice sounded beside her. She put her phone in her small backpack and looked up at him. "Happy New Year." "There's still a month before we have to leave. By then, our scenes will be almost done, but I have a request." He walked by her side, and his voice was gentle as he spoke."What is

Chapter174 You Called Me to Pick a Fight

Zachary did not answer her immediately. Instead, he asked her, "Do you think Kenneth likes you?""I've never paid attention. I'm very careful when it comes to interacting with those from the entertainment world, so I ignore that," she answered frankly.At most, she considered Kenneth as a friend. He helped her twice, so he wanted Emmen to help make clothes for him and his family. Her agreement was a form of repayment.However, she had not thought of entering a relationship with him."This shows that you haven't sensed his particularly obvious affection for you," said Zachary.Upon being told this, her mind quickly recalled Kenneth's attitude towards her during this period. Instantly, her eyes narrowed, but she casually said, "Please, even if he does, he's an actor. Actors are good at acting. Besides, we are on set. If he liked someone, would he show it? Do you think I don't have enough problems?""I'm your cousin, so why would he target me?" He could not wrap his head aroun

Chapter 175 Deep Resentment Towards Him Alone

Although Zachary raised an eyebrow, he didn't respond. Was Kenneth about to bring Joey to meet his family? As he contemplated that, Joey remained silent.As the two entered the waiting area, Zachary sat down and looked at Joey. "After this job ends, I have a project—""Let's not. Let's not be involved with each other," Joey hastily interrupted him.She had no interest in collaborating with him after experiencing repeated misfortunes under his management."I won't cause you any trouble this time. The project is quite important," Zachary earnestly said to Joey."I refuse," Joey quickly replied without even considering it.Zachary was taken aback.He looked at Joey and adjusted his tie, asking, "Is there no chance at all?""I've suffered losses twice, once in your hands and once in your family's hands. Do you think Emmen will willingly cooperate with you? I'm not someone who only remembers the benefits and forgets the pain I've suffered," Joey said with a faint smile. Nobody k

Chapter 176 Trust Me

Kent felt he was putting himself in a difficult spot. After all, he was just an ordinary single guy."Alright, what do you want me to do to help?" Kent inquired.Zachary explained in detail. Kent looked at him sternly. After a while, he finally responded, "I can't judge this matter. If Joey—""I know it's my problem, that's why I'm asking for your advice." Zachary looked at him seriously."Joey is only concerned about one thing—Julia, your first love. Whenever she calls, you go running to her. Just don't do that and it'll be fine," Kent replied simply."Think of something else," Zachary said.Kent, with a puzzled expression, asked, "Zachary, I don't understand. How important is Julia?""She's not important, but my dealings with her involve Joey. It is very complicated," Zachary said, sipping his drink."To what extent does it involve Joey? Is it life-threatening?" Kent asked, curious."Maybe. Well, I wouldn't risk it," Zachary said. "Especially now that our relationship ha

Chapter 177 Bad News

Half a month passed quickly, and the program team started preparing for the end of filming. Joey found herself having more free time recently. Kenneth arranged to bring her to his family's place a week after the end of the shooting to get measurements for his grandmother.While idling around the program team, Joey suddenly received a call from Selena."Joey, something big is happening!" Selena sounded excited.Joey, puzzled, asked, "What? Did we receive a big order?""Do you know who Yvette Fowler is?" Selena asked, smiling from ear to ear.Of course, Joey knew who Yvette was. Yvette was a Prollywood actress who had won awards and was an international best actress."She called me today personally, saying there's an international red carpet event in June. She hopes you can design a dress for her, one that outshines everyone else attending the event."Selena was thrilled. Meanwhile, Joey thought that outshining everyone was quite a challenge. Nonetheless, it was still March, w

Chapter 178 Jojo’s Mad at Me, so I Couldn’t Sleep

Joey felt a chilling sensation throughout her body. Instantly, she thought of Zachary using Kenneth's future as a threat against her. He was secretive about his whereabouts, and he maintained his relationship with Julia discreetly. If he didn't want anyone to know about something, no one would find out. She wondered if he had intended for the situation to happen.Her mind was chaotic with thoughts. While she doubted Zachary, she didn't want to accuse him without evidence. Setting her phone down in the office, she frowned as her dissatisfaction with Zachary suddenly peaked.At that moment, her phone rang. Seeing it was a call from Zachary, she coldly glared at the phone and chose not to answer. Although he called more than ten times, Joey didn't pick up any of his calls.Finally, her assistant, looking troubled, walked into her office with a phone in hand. "Mr. Simons is calling. He said you should pick it up.""I'm not picking up," Joey said, refusing immediately without gi

Chapter 179 An Unexpected Encounter

Zachary lay on the couch and soon fell asleep. Monica brought out a blanket and covered him. Noticing the worry on his face, she sighed softly.She didn't know what had happened between the two. She headed back to the kitchen to get the tacos before giving Joey a WhatsApp call. Soon, the call connected.Monica looked at Joey with affection. "How's work been lately?"Since she called out of nowhere, Joey figured it had to be related to Zachary.Biting her lip, Joey asked, "It's still alright. What's up?""It's been a while since you came back. I miss you. From the first day of the New Year until the third, Zac was worried I'd be lonely, so he came to spend it with me," Monica said softly.Sitting in the kitchen, she glanced at Zachary resting in the hallway. Monica was genuinely concerned about Zachary. She wondered if he was unhappy at home, leading him to come over just to have tacos.Hearing Monica's words, Joey was surprised. After a moment of silence, she softly asked, "

Chapter 180 The Significance of the Wedding Dress

"I've never liked her," Zachary emphasized."Previously, when I asked you why that wedding dress cost 7.18 million, you didn't know the answer." Joey looked into Zachary's eyes, her smile turning bitter. "That was our wedding anniversary date. It was the dress I once mentioned to you. Because Julia liked it, you had the studio sell it to her."Zachary's gaze trembled violently.Joey averted her gaze and swallowed before continuing, "The moment the dress was sold, I let go of the past and embraced my new life.""Why didn't you tell me?" Zachary's throat stiffened. Joey sneered. "Do you think there was a point? Marriage is about two people. It isn't just about one person alone."Zachary had never known that many large cracks had silently formed in their marriage."You've never cared about me, that's why you know nothing," Joey said lightly. "You don't know how much effort I put in to make you notice me, to look at me during the three years of our marriage. However, you wouldn't
