Joey stared at him and suddenly exclaimed, "Zachary said your sexual orientation is off. He's unwilling to come over to get the clothes as he's afraid that you might have ideas about him."A trace of surprise crossed Henry's face. After a moment, he responded with a polite smile, "Mr. Gray is just trying to amuse you. I can understand his intentions."Zachary burst into laughter in the room. It was Joey's first time hearing him laugh so heartily. She awkwardly smiled at Henry. Then, she turned around with the paper bag in her hand and casually closed the door."Go and get changed," Joey said as she walked to the bedside.Zachary leaned against the bed. He looked at her with a playful expression in his eyes as he responded, "Alright."Joey tossed the paper bag to him. He lifted the blanket, unabashedly changing clothes in front of her. "You've slept with me and even seen every inch of my body. Don't keep bringing up divorce, okay?" Zachary told Joey straightforwardly.Hearing

In the following days, Joey kept frequenting Hanson's café and became a regular there.Whenever she felt tired from her embroidery work, she would go to the café to drink tea, eat pastries, and brainstorm design ideas.Meanwhile, Hanson would sit across from her, working on wood carvings. His current work involved taking commercial orders and carving animated characters.As Joey got to know him, she discovered that he accepted orders regardless of the amount and it depended solely on his mood.Initially, she thought the café wasn't profitable, but now she realized his artworks were well-known on the internet. Running a café was a side job while carving was his livelihood.Feeling a bit tired from drawing, Joey put down her tablet. Sipping on her tea, she observed Hanson, who had his head down, focusing on the characters he was working on.Given her limited exposure to such aspects, she couldn't decipher anything even after observing for a while.She couldn't help but be impresse

The blows left Joey seeing stars. Her ears buzzed, and the pain in her cheeks felt as if her skin had been torn open.She was forced to lift her head, with traces of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.Yoel's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand, ready to deliver another slap. Just then, his phone rang, and he forcefully smashed Joey to the ground. Her head thumped against the floor, and Joey winced in pain as her vision went black. She almost lost all consciousness."Hey! I have no idea when this bitch sent an emergency message to her friend. I've been fooled!" Yoel walked away as he talked on the phone.The person on the other end of the call responded, "The contact on that side said it would take three days. I can't do anything about it either!" "I'll try contacting other buyers. Don't worry. I'll definitely take her to the industrial park, where no one will be able to find her."After saying that, he ended the call, turned around, and went to grab Joey.He pulled

"Please thank your cousin for me." Joey smiled."This is a gift from Hanson. Keep it with you. It's meant to bring safety." Elise handed Joey a square wooden box.Joey thanked her once more. She realized that she had built her own circle of friends without realizing it.Over the past three years, her life could only revolve around Zachary. Now, Zachary was no longer her only focus.Kenneth pulled Elise behind him. He took a step forward and asked with concern, "What exactly happened? How do you feel now?""I'm alright. It's a long story, and the situation is a bit complicated," Joey replied."I've heard that these things happen quite often. Anyway, be careful when you're out and about," Elise chimed in.Joey did come across such news online before. However, she didn't intend to disclose her own situation."It's so odd that you were taken from Riviera to Yarwood," Kenneth remarked as he frowned."The police are still investigating. Anyway, I'm fine now," Joey explained to Kenne

The next morning, Zachary left Joey's hospital room with the warmth wiped off his face, replaced by a cold demeanor.Henry looked at him.The two walked to a more secluded area away from the hospital room. Zachary leaned against the wall, staring at Joey's door, his tone icy."Make sure to thoroughly investigate whether Mrs. Gray's issue is connected to Julia, and keep a close eye on Julian."Zachary wouldn't let what had happened to Joey slide, regardless of whether Julia was involved.If it did turn out to be her, he would need to step in to protect Julia again.Dealing with Julian was a major headache. He needed to strategize carefully.…After a week in the hospital, Joey figured it was time to make her way back to Riviera.The embroidery left untouched needed her attention, and she decided to send Henry back while keeping Elise as her companion.Considering her plans to collaborate with the Fulham and Yates families, Joey thought it would be best to smooth things over wi
