I'll come pick you up," Kent said and abruptly ended the call.He needed to inform Zachary about the situation as soon as possible.Joey intended to share more with him, but with the call ended, she lost the motivation to call back. She thought it would be better for Kent to talk to Zachary about it.It seemed inevitable that she would have to meet with Zachary soon.…Later that evening, Selena returned.

Chapter 272 Bitterness

Joey leaned against the couch. She pursed her lips and said, "I bought a good batch of sea pearls from Mr. Fuller."Today, a jeweler mentioned that an Imperia heiress wants to purchase those sea pearls from me to make jewelry for a family reunion banquet."Yvonne approached me earlier about ordering a dress to wear at a family reunion banquet as well. If my guess is correct, she must be this heiress."Zachary looked at her with a cold and stern gaze. "You didn't disclose the sea pearls acquisition to anyone, yet she somehow found out. Looks like she's quite resourceful." "She even transferred 438 thousand dollars to us! I immediately felt there was something off. This woman is truly something." Selena's breathing became irregular."Her malice toward Ms. Linton is just too much. But what did Ms. Linton do to deserve such hatred?"How could she be doing so many disgusting things, both overtly and covertly?" Kent couldn't help but clench his fists. In Joey's opinion, Yvonne's cle

Chapter 273 Pretentious

After getting a taxi to send Kent home, Zachary made his way to Julia's place."What's going on?" Inside Shane's car, Zachary's expression was dark."They aim to use your grandma as a threat. They want to force you to personally coerce Mrs. Gray into dropping the charges against Julian and forgiving him so that he can be released," Shane said in a deep voice. Zachary sneered coldly. "Julia is someone who knows how to play it safe. She has seen the consequences of Julian offending me. She's not that foolish."Keep an eye on her. I'm looking forward to seeing what she's capable of."With that, he opened the door and stepped out of the car. His figure soon disappeared into the night.At that moment, Julia was discussing tomorrow's plans with Julian's friend. Upon hearing the knocking on the door, she was taken aback. She hastily exited the temporary chat app, rose from her seat, and approached the door.In a hushed tone, she asked, "Who is it?""It's me," replied the person out

Chapter 274 Do I Know You

In the afternoon, Rose called Zachary and invited him to join her for lunch at a restaurant.Zachary's tall, lean frame made quite an entrance as he walked into the restaurant. A few women were even checking him out.Seemingly oblivious to the attention, Zachary walked over to his grandmother's table with Henry and took a seat. Henry quietly stood behind him.Rose gave Zachary a displeased look. "You brought an assistant to have a meal with me? It's not like we're discussing work.""Alright, let's order since we're here to eat." Zachary smoothly changed the subject, casually picking up the menu.As he turned a page, someone with a delicate floral fragrance settled in the seat beside him. Zachary furrowed his brows, immediately turning his attention to the newcomer.At the dining table sat a lady with long, smooth hair, dressed in a white dress and holding a pearl-studded handbag.When Zachary looked her way, she gave a slight nod and greeted, "Hi, Zac. I'm Carrie Huntington."H

Chapter 275 Disgusted

Being a bit of a gossiper, Melvin couldn't help but keep eyeing Zachary's table.Sensing the situation, Henry quickly moved to a corner and made a phone call. In less than two minutes, the restaurant's few customers were politely asked to leave by the staff.When it came to Joey's table, Henry was uncertain about it. He approached Zachary and asked, "What about Ms. Linton's table?""Just leave it," Zachary replied. Turning away, he gave Rose a cold look."I've had Shane call for an ambulance. Grandma, you shouldn't leave the Gray Estate if you're not feeling well. As a young, able-bodied guy, I can take care of myself."Casting a brief glance at Carrie, he chose silence and began to make his exit. But just from that glance, Carrie felt a sudden stiffness coursing through her entire body."You're still into Joey, aren't you?" Rose suddenly raised her voice, not bothering to keep it down now that there were no more customers around.Joey realized luck wasn't on her side that day.

Chapter 276 Passive

Joey and Melvin decided to switch to another restaurant.After their meal, she drove Melvin to Emmen. On the way, she noticed him consistently staring at her from the passenger seat."What is it?" she asked."Have you … been married to Zachary before?" Melvin cautiously inquired, deducing from Rose's words."Yeah, but we're divorced. Not like it's something I go around announcing anyway," Joey replied casually.Her undertone suggested she hoped Melvin wouldn't share this with others.Observing her indifferent demeanor, Melvin propped his chin and quipped, "Did you divorce him because you didn't like him?""Mr. Fuller, we're not in the business of discussing personal matters." Joey's profile displayed a cool demeanor, her tone gentle yet assertive."Moreover, I prefer to keep private affairs separate from our professional interactions.""Ms. Linton, you're taking things too seriously," Melvin complained.Observing his lack of seriousness, Joey also adopted a more casual tone,

Chapter 277 Monica's Secret

Melvin's first impression of Joey was that she was stunning. Yet, she appeared a bit reserved, making it seem challenging to approach her.People often labeled individuals with such demeanor as "stand-offish".However, as time went on, Melvin came to understand that Joey wasn't actually standoffish. Her demeanor was just a part of her natural charm.After parting ways, Joey drove back home. Getting back early today, she was surprised to find Monica wasn't around.Worried about Monica, Joey pulled out her phone to give her a call. After what felt like ages, Monica finally picked up."Hi, Grandma, where are you? I finished work early and thought I could come pick you up," Joey said as soon as the call connected."No need, no need. I'm just hanging out at a friend's place in the neighborhood, watching TV. I'll be back in a bit," Monica promptly declined.Hearing that her grandma had made some new friends, Joey's face immediately lit up with a smile."That's awesome! Have a great t

Chapter 278 Pathetic Coward

Joey came home with a lot on her mind. Turning the key, she pushed the door open and glanced into the living room.Her face immediately turned cold upon seeing the person sitting there."Who gave you the right to come into my house?" Joey snapped at Caleb.Monica rushed out of the kitchen. She first looked at Caleb, who was smiling politely, then back at Joey and asked in confusion, "What's going on?""Grandma, when I'm not at home, you shouldn't be letting strangers in!" Joey moved closer, standing protectively beside Monica."How could you assume I don't know her, Ms. Linton? And hey, your grandma's a grown-up. You can't stop her from making friends," Caleb said, smiling and ignoring Joey's anger."Mr. Lockwood, if you don't leave right now, don't cry when I throw you out myself!"Joey was direct, her tone so cold that even Monica was surprised. After all, it was the first time she'd seen Joey, usually warm and welcoming, so visibly on edge."I know Mr. Lockwood. He lives aro

Chapter 279 Drama

Monica placed the dishes on the dining table."I'm not one to be easily duped. Let me tell you, in my prime, I was Linton Ville's reigning queen bee—married the most dashing man in town, your grandpa. "Ask anyone in Linton Ville, and they'll confirm I've sailed through the years without ever being fooled," she grumbled.Monica's words successfully elicited a laugh from Joey. She couldn't help but picture Monica, armed with a broom, chasing down troublemakers all over the small town.Nevertheless, amidst the laughter, Joey couldn't ignore the stark reality—Monica, now an elderly woman, struggled even to catch a taxi in the city."City life is different from the village. In the village, everyone knows each other well. But in the city, you never really know people's true colors." Joey offered a gentle reminder to Monica."Got it, Jojo. What's this guy pushing you to do? Is work getting seriously tough?" Monica looked at Joey. Her gaze was cloudy yet brimming with genuine concern.
