Chapter 281 Secrets

Remaining seated in her office, Joey listened to Keep Jewelry's lawyer in silence."Look, Ms. Linton, in business, integrity matters even when deals go awry. Broadcasting such matters online is too extreme. It tarnishes his reputation, and you may face severe consequences."Plus, he visited your home and vanished—can you really deny any involvement?" the lawyer reiterated."Chloe already stated her lawyer will handle this. Arguing now won't alter that," Stacy coldly responded.Unfazed by Stacy's remark, the lawyer pressed on, "Ms. Linton, Mr. Caleb's disappearance seems to conveniently align with your Twitter posts. Was this all part of your plan?"Maintaining her composure, Joey gracefully lifted her teacup, took a sip, and even let out a yawn.Knowing how tricky Keep could be, she knew better than to engage with the opposing lawyer. This was to avoid potential traps that might cost her significant compensation to Keep.Seeing her persistent silence, the lawyer sighed and rubbe

He let out a dismissive snort, pressed the answer button, and closed his eyes but remained silent."What's the deal with Caleb?" Hanson demanded through the phone, his tone sharp."He's right there with you. Why not just ask him?" Zachary replied lazily, but there was a clear chill in his voice."Zachary, I'm not questioning what Caleb did. I want to know why the hell did you send him to my place?"Hanson's fury erupted, his voice cutting like a knife, "Even if you've got issues with Yvonne, you can't ju

Chapter 283 Ludicrous Move

Hanson was getting a bit irritated by Kenneth's tone."We've known each other for so many years. Why are you angry with me when there's no conclusive evidence that Yvonne did this?"He liked Joey, and Hanson supported Kenneth in pursuing her. However, Kenneth's unfounded suspicion of Yvonne without any proof left Hanson feeling a bit stifled.Kenneth was his best mate. Hanson hoped that alongside his feelings for Joey, Kenneth could approach the situation with reason, considering Yvonne was his sister.Hanson felt his emotions were overlooked as a friend when Kenneth directly accused Yvonne.In a stern tone, Kenneth asserted, "I've known you for years and trust you. But I don't know Yvonne, and I don't have a reason to believe her."How long have you known her? Does she know your password?""There's no way she knows my account password. I'll investigate how my money ended up in Joey's account," Hanson explained."I trust Joey, and I'll always have her back," Kenneth declared be

But little did they know, what they thought of as lame corporate drama was already causing her a whole lot of trouble.With Caleb getting hurt, Joey managed to keep hold of the pearls she had. Now, the only thing left to worry about was Melanie's situation.Time flew by, and suddenly a week had passed.Joey got a call from Samuel when she was finishing up at the office."Hey, remember the reunion tomorrow. Do you need a ride?" Samuel's voice over the phone was incredibly gentle."Nah, I'm good. Just send me the address," Joey declined."Okay. By the way, I saw what's going on online. How are you doing now? Is everything okay with your grandma?"I've been so busy lately and didn't want to bother you earlier, but I thought I'd check in today." Samuel's words carried genuine concern."I'm good, just the usual challenges of making a living. It's not always smooth sailing, but I've managed to work things out," Joey explained.

Chapter 285 Putting on a Show

Joey held onto her phone, tears welling up in her eyes.She was aware that there would come a day when her grandma, growing older, would inevitably pass away just like her grandfather.However, when those words actually came out of Monica's mouth, a profound sadness washed over Joey."Grandma, I know." Joey's voice softened, no longer as panicked as before.Joey realized she had overreacted due to Caleb. She had forgotten that Monica was way more experienced than her in life."Joey, I'll be back once I handle things," Monica said, ending the call abruptly.Monica's cold tone left Joey feeling incredibly anxious. She sniffed, clutched her phone, and held back her tears.Seated on the couch, Joey stared blankly at the letter. She couldn't help but wonder what important matter Monica had to attend to.After a while, she folded the letter, stood up, and headed out.Even if Monica preferred handling things on her own, Joey couldn't just sit at home and wait for her to come back.…

Chapter 286 Reunion

Monica used to prepare tacos for Zachary, too. But that wouldn't be happening again.Zachary didn't propose heading to Joey's place for a meal. Instead, he said, "I'll drive you home. You don't need to stress about Grandma."She's got her own stuff going on, and getting too involved might make her feel tied down."Even though Zachary wasn't sure why Monica was so adamant about going to Imperia, he was certain she wasn't doing it simply because of Caleb's threat.She must have had her own valid reasons for going."I know," Joey muttered."Grandma is an adult. She's been through more in life than you've ever had. Your worries are valid, but you've got to trust her," Zachary added.Monica's persistence in walking those routes daily showed just how committed she was to going to Imperia.Zachary sensed that Joey's personality was heavily influenced by Monica's. Once she decided to do something, no matter how much time or effort it took, she would stick with it.Joey ignored Zachary

Chapter 287 Outrageous

Joey got married not long after graduating. However, given that the marriage ended with a divorce, she found it a bit awkward to respond to Morgan's question."Not much changed, really. Selena and I opened a studio. We've been working behind the scenes to hone our skills," Joey replied softly.Morgan nodded approvingly.Classmates started arriving one by one. Even Selena, who had been out of town, rushed back to join the gathering.Sitting down next to Joey, Selena gestured for her to look at the adjacent table. Lost in Morgan's question, Joey didn't notice the people who were already seated there.When she turned to look, she spotted Zachary and a group of unfamiliar individuals in suits and ties at the adjacent table.Samuel noticed her glancing at the nearby table and instinctively turned to see what had caught her eye. Spotting Zachary at the adjacent table, he couldn't help but find it a bit too coincidental.However, a renowned chef had hosted a state banquet here recently

Chapter 288 Joey Stood up for Samuel

Samuel's face carried a smile mixed with a fleeting trace of mockery.He lowered his gaze, took a sip of red wine, and told Joey, "I've heard rumors in the industry that Kenneth is genuinely pursuing you. Do you really not consider it at all?"His words seemed to crush Quintus' self-confidence completely."Well, I'm in Eldeville, and he's in Imperia. If I were to consider, I would consider someone from Eldeville," Joey replied.In fact, Joey appreciated Samuel stepping in to help her out tonight. She disliked dealing with such pointless conversations.Moreover, she was preoccupied with her grandma's affair and had no interest in getting engaged with them."It's indeed a bit far, but your career is on the rise now, and you have numerous offers on your plate. You should prioritize your career."After all, the fame Yvette brings you has a limited shelf life. You need to make the most of it."Samuel slowly finished speaking and redirected the conversation back to Morgan. Joey's f

Chapter 289 Flirting in Public

Quintus, who had been splashed with wine, stood up immediately and glared at Joey with an angry expression."What are you talking about? Do you really think you're all that just because you're famous?"No matter how famous you become, you're still just a village girl. You have no parents, and you're just an orphan no one wanted!"How many years can your grandma back you up? In the end, you'll still have to rely on a man! Do you really believe your current fame will last forever?"Samuel's expression turned extremely grim, and his gaze became ice-cold. "Trust me, Quintus. I'll have someone pull out your tongue!" The commotion at their table swiftly caught the waiter's attention.Zachary glanced at Henry standing beside him. Henry immediately understood his intention.He walked up to Quintus with an indifferent expression and stated, "My boss is this restaurant's investor. Due to your disturbance affecting others' dining experience, our boss has asked me to escort you out." "I'

Chapter 290 Outstanding Men Tend to Marry Early

"Mr. Gray, if you don't mind, we can give it a try," Lindsay said.Zachary raised an eyebrow but remained silent. It seemed like he was considering her words.The bosses at the dinner table looked at Lindsay with interest. Lindsay went from being shy to gradually feeling awkward. Her fingers twirled together, and she felt uneasy deep down. As her legs began to feel a bit wobbly, Zachary finally spoke. "I'm sorry. I want to reconcile with my ex-wife, so I'm not considering dating anyone else."Lindsay was completely stunned. She hadn't expected Zachary to have been married before. After being rejected, she nodded awkwardly and quickly returned to her seat. "Why didn't you tell me that Zachary was married before? If I knew he had a previous wife whom he deeply loves, why would I want to approach him?" Lindsay angrily glared at Joey.Joey tightened his grip on the wine glass without responding."It seems like outstanding men tend to marry early," Jamie muttered softly. She also f
