Chapter 381 No Expectations

The really heartbreaking thing was how Paul dealt with Gwen—he basically just kicked her out of the set."Either you start recording right now or just get lost. Take your bunch of students with you as you scram."Whatever needs compensating, you better pay up. And I mean each and every one of you!" Paul said with a lot of arrogance.Joey initially planned to leave, but Paul's words left them with no choice.Kenneth was pissed. Joey had to grab and hold him back.Maurine and Gwen weren't exactly well-off. They were basically surviving on their talents.Not getting anything from the show and having to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars was just too much for them."Look, I'm in control here! Do you even know how massive Show TV's audience is? The last one standing doesn't just rake in cash overnight but will also score hundreds of thousands of fans."You'll instantly become an influencer. Just a casual chat with your fans will pull in thousands of dollars each month."So,

Gwen chose to leave the set after waking up. Joey's group was now down to just two members. Despite Group C having five members, Paul didn't assign any new members to Joey's group.Since Gwen dropped out of the competition, the treasure chest changed its location again.After taking a break for the whole morning, everyone was recharged and ready to roll in the afternoon.This boost in energy was fueled by Paul's acknowledgment of the current era.Amassing hundreds of thousands of fans by going on this show could translate into earning a living by casually interacting with them as an influencer.In a time when making money by chatting with people was an option, who would willingly put in the effort for hard work?In the afternoon, Group C effortlessly uncovered the treasure chest.Meanwhile, as the group with the fewest members, Joey and Maurine would face the ultimate penalty.The recording for this penalty was scheduled to begin tomorrow, and the big question lingered—what k

Chapter 383 Messed Up

Joey returned to the hotel and took a look at Gwen's design pieces. Her color choices were impressive, but her creativity was a bit lacking.Putting down Gwen's files, Joey reached out to Cyrus."Mind helping me out with something? I need you to look into someone."As a local in Imperia, Joey thought Cyrus should be able to check Gwen and Maurine's backgrounds for her."Sure. Who is it, and what exactly do you want me to find?""There are two students I'm working with—Maurine and Gwen. They're thinking of working at Emmen after graduation. I need you to check their backgrounds thoroughly."Joey was keen on mentoring them. So, it was crucial their backgrounds were clean to avoid any issues, especially after the previous design theft incident.Additionally, she aimed to provide them with an opportunity, which was also a part of her plan against Paul."No problem."After Cyrus replied, Joey couldn't resist throwing in another question."Since you've managed to get so much footag

Chapter 384 Lovestruck

Kenneth shook his head. "I didn't find out much. But I heard that some students actually paid money to get on this show."Joey initially thought it was Kenneth who convinced Paul to change his mind, but it wasn't. Now, she pretty much figured out who it was."Yeah, Maurine and Gwen both threw down 200 thousand dollars." Joey nodded."Ash ended up in Group C. My guess is he probably paid even more," Kenneth speculated."Maybe." Joey's main concern now was what penalty Paul had in store for her the next day.He clearly wanted to teach her a lesson, and if that day didn't work, there was always the day after that.Kenneth noticed Joey wasn't in the mood for these discussions."Joey," Kenneth called out, sounding a bit sheepish.Joey was on her way back to her room to rest. Noticing the change in his tone, she turned to him and asked, "What is it?""Grandma wants to meet you. She's always been feeling pretty guilty about the birthday gown."When she heard you're in Imperia for th

Chapter 385 Broken Arm

During the meal, Joey noticed that Eleanor had been staring at her, the intensity of which made her squirm in her seat."Did you design the dress yourself?" asked Eleanor elegantly when the dinner concluded."Yes, I did." Joey nodded.Her dress was sewn with smooth, silky fabric. Its plain but classy color, paired with its delicate embroidery, bestowed upon itself a regal air.Eleanor flashed her a rueful look. "I should have convinced you to sell me your dress. I adore its design."Not sure if Eleanor was being nice, Joey smiled and answered, "Thank you.""Grandma, let me walk you to the car," offered Kenneth."Sure," replied Eleanor affectionately.She knew that Kenneth did this because he didn't want her to misspeak and offend Joey. That said, his gesture also made Eleanor think that he would undoubtedly be an indulgent husband in the future.After Kenneth and Eleanor left, Joey let out a sigh of relief.Outside, Eleanor suddenly left a remark. "You like her a lot. So, why

Chapter 386 Precious Arm

In Paul's mind, Joey had it coming when she decided to talk back.Compared to those who had challenged him in the past, breaking Joey's right arm was already a punishment considered lenient.Were it not for the boss' warning, he would have killed Joey.…When Joey woke up, her arm had already stopped hurting.Turning her head to the side, she saw Kenneth with puffy eyes. After a brief silence, she asked, "Is my right arm gone?""Your arm did not sustain a critical injury because we sent you to the hospital in time. Thank goodness for that. Bless you and your kindness," Maurine chimed in."Although you'll have a nasty scar on your arm," croaked Kenneth, like an injured puppy.Threads coiled around her arm where the metal wire cut into her flesh like a centipede."Scars will fade eventually. Have you checked the scene? I'm sure I stepped on oil," asked Joey. It could be evidence."It's no use. I could smell that something was off on your body when I came to rescue you, but the

Chapter 387 Too Late

Zachary shouted toward the door when he saw Joey's pained expression, "Did the doctor not give her any painkillers?"Henry pushed the door open and said politely, "I'll summon a doctor right away.""Just leave, Zachary!" Joey yelled.Then, she turned to Henry. "No need to bring a doctor here. Taking him away beats all the painkillers in the world."Henry was confused. Within a few seconds, Zachary managed to get on Joey's nerves. Didn't he say he was here to make up to Joey?After Zachary was kicked out of the ward, he watched sullenly as Kenneth entered the room. He only broke his gaze when the door closed.Henry took a furtive glance at his superior."Spill it," ordered Zachary."You shouldn't yell at Ms. Linton. Showing affection when she is vulnerable can foster a relationship," muttered Henry as his eyes darted to the side.Zachary agreed with what Henry said, but his emotions had gotten the better of him just now. It felt like if he didn't take a drastic approach, Joey a

Chapter 388 A Harsh Lesson

Joey frowned and sneered. "I don't take orders from you.""I'm serious, Joey. Unless you want the Fulhams to come after you, you stay away from Kenneth," said Zachary."I thank you for handling the assault case for me. But that doesn't mean you can tell me who I can hang out with," defied Joey.Zachary then said, word by word, "If you want to thank me, remember what I just said."Joey closed her eyes and continued, "I'm going to sleep now."It felt as if Joey did not take any of his advice seriously. Now that Joey shut down all channels of communication, Zachary could only return to his work.After two hours, Joey woke up.Zachary was sitting next to the window, his laptop resting comfortably on the window frame.Under the light, his slender fingers danced elegantly on the keyboard. It was as if they were an art to be admired by everyone.Joey was mesmerized, but she quickly withdrew her gaze."Do you want something to drink? I bought milk tea and ice-blended fruit juice. Pic

Chapter 389 Not for You

Joey played the role of a spectator during the whole confrontation.Paul was seeing stars. The force of the slap had shut down whatever sensory responses were on his face.Zachary approached Paul and stepped on Paul's fingers as he lay on the ground.Before Paul could scream in pain, Zachary threatened, "Noisy people will get their tongues cut out. You know that, don't you?"Paul swallowed the scream and struggled.Henry rubbed the wrist he used to slap Paul and glared at Paul viciously, like a wolf that was ready to pounce on its prey."So, tell me the truth about the wire harness." Zachary turned to Zane.Zane stood with wobbly knees. His mouth was agape, but no words came out.Joey chimed in, "Zachary, I'll handle this myself.""I'm teaching Paul a lesson because he disrespected me just now. I asked about the wire harness out of curiosity. It wasn't for you." Zachary glimpsed at Joey.Henry sighed. Zachary was being prideful again.Joey didn't expect Zachary to answer tha

Henry intercepted Zane before he could keep up with Paul."The police will be here soon. I think you're safer in custody than with Paul," Henry said coldly.Zane now regretted agreeing to carry out Paul's nefarious plan.Shortly after Paul left, he received a call from his superior.His superior yelled at him as soon as Paul picked up. "How did Joey's arm get injured? Didn't I tell you to not go overboard? Prey on the weak ones, not someone like her!""I'll handle this, sir," said Paul, but his boss hung up right away.Paul went on his social media and saw that Joey's accident was trending. He immediately called the PR department."Do your job! News of the accident is everywhere on the internet. Do you need me to tell you what to do?" The PR manager was annoyed. "I've been doing just that, Mr. Smith, but it's hard to take it down. Everyone's demanding an explanation from us right now. The higher-up told us to play dead."Either you come back and issue an apology or give me a
