Chapter 431 Interest

As soon as Zachary came home, he asked Harold why Rose was grounded."Because if I don't, she'll cause trouble again," said Harold sternly."But she has a weak heart…""And she uses that as an excuse to do whatever she wants. Don't worry. I have installed security cameras in the attic, and the guards check on her 24/7."If something bad happens, a doctor is on standby to administer help," reassured Harold.Zachary thought to himself that his grandfather was very thorough in the handling of matters."So, what do you want to tell me?" Zachary put his mind to rest."Monica didn't give me the poisonous mushroom. The whole thing has something to do with Yvonne, but I don't have any evidence yet."However, Maxime found something useful," said Harold as he beckoned Zachary to join him in the study.Zachary didn't know his grandfather was investigating Yvonne, too."How come you're investigating Yvonne with Uncle Maxime?" He followed behind Harold and asked in a surprised tone."I f

She posted funny videos of being a volunteer teacher and garnered millions of fans.Her fans were very excited when they saw boxes upon boxes of winter clothes being unloaded from a truck."Are they donated clothes? They look brand new! Which company donated them? They look so good!""We must support such a kind company! Drop the name, miss. We'll buy clothes from them.""Finally, those kids will have warm coats this winter."The teacher took one of the clothes out of the box. Then, she beckoned to a girl with a smile."This beautiful winter coat is for a girl. Can you put it on for me?"The little girl was wearing a tattered winter coat. Its sleeves were thinned from overwashing. When she saw t

"I knew haters would use that against us. I just didn't expect them to start this soon.""It's all my fault. I shouldn't have sewn those embroideries to embellish the clothes."

Chapter 434 Name Cleared

The online attack regarding Emmen's supposedly charity-turned-publicity-stunt continued to fester.All of a sudden, Imperia Daily released a video entitled, Cyberattack After A Kind Donation—What Has Become Of Our Moral Compass?The video was about Joey and Selena's interview. The whole thing was released without any edits.Underneath the video was an article by Imperia Daily."What's baffling is how the so-called influencers criticized the volunteer teacher."She has been working in an underdeveloped area for five years, yet is being accused of exploiting the children in an attempt to garner more attention."Similarly, Emmen, who has spent millions of dollars to make these underprivileged kids winter clothes, was witch-hunted for pulling this publicity stunt."They invested time and money to take care of the vulnerable. Yet, their effort is twisted and invalidated by the keyboard warriors in the comfort of their own homes, and by the influencers who did nothing for the society

Some had even placed orders for next year's produce.Melvin rushed to Imperia excitedly only to be told that Joey was away."Where is she? Just tell me." Melvin buzzed around the occupied Selena like a bee.Selena put down the documents she was reading and said in resignation, "Mr. Fuller, her work is packed until the end of next year. She doesn't have time for you."Apart from the design contest, Joey went abroad to see if any clients would purchase the fabrics that piled up in their warehouse due to the previous companies who reneged on their promise.She was so busy that she wished she could clone herself."Just tell me where she is.

She should be back around February," answered Selena.To make sure no one could sabotage anything, her trip to Firelle was confidential."Fine." M

Chapter 436 Tailed

Joey rested at her office until evening when Selena dragged her to the homecoming party."I invited many prominent business figures and new partners. One, I want to share the joyous occasion with them."And two, I want them to know that Emmen is different now. People will think twice before they bully us!"Joey nodded. "Thank you for looking for new business partners during the past two months.""Don't mention it. Pixie's latest collection will be released early next year. I hope it will sell well." Selena was very happy. In those past few months, she had been hitting wall after wall.However, now that Joey had won the Louce Design Competition, things took a turn for the better. Many brands contacted her for a business collaboration, so much so that she had trouble picking one.When the girls alighted from the car at the hotel entrance, they ran into Zachary.Zachary seemed to be in a business meeting with somebody. He saw Joey when he turned around.With his brows raised, he a

Chapter 437 Give Henry to Joey

Joey withdrew her gaze and looked to the front. "I plan to develop Pixie. It is Emmen's subsidiary, after all."Joey had always been a believer in fairness.Pixie stepped in and took the fabrics that Emmen's previous partners abandoned. It had reduced significantly the financial loss Emmen had incurred at the end of the year.Therefore, she wanted to restore Pixie to its former glory.Besides, if Harrison and Selena became an item, making Pixie prosper would be the best wedding gift she could ever give to Selena and Harrison."I bet you're doing this for Ms. Sanders because she's dating Mr. Zucman. This must be why you're focusing on Pixie." Kenneth read Joey's mind.Joey chuckled. "Nothing can fool your eyes.""And I thought I would star in whatever show you're making clothes for."Then, Kenneth started mentioning his career prospects. "Cinna told me my career would be perfect if I won Best Actor in this year's Orchid Award Ceremony. Then, I might star in a movie or something.

Chapter 438 Taking Henry In

"If it bothers Harrison that much, you'll need to make up to him. Why don't you take this day off, go on a cute date with him, and explain everything?" Joey walked toward Selena and consoled her.Selena was still mad. "He knows Hanson and I have barely met. How come it's my fault that Hanson went ballistic?"Joey quickly added, "No, it's not your fault.""I am also the victim in this situation. Why is he mad at me?" Selena slowly calmed down.Joey patted her shoulder and continued, "There, there. If you and Harrison are meant to be, it'll work out. If not, so be it."Selena nodded. "Yeah."Then, she called out to Stacy, "Bring Henry in."She supposed Zachary must be throwing another jealousy fit because Kenneth had sent Joey back yesterday.Henry was ushered into the room. He looked at Selena and then at Joey with pitiful eyes. "Ms. Linton, will you please take me in? I was fired by Mr. Gray."Selena snorted out loud. "Bullshit!""It's true. He said I had become more talkativ

Chapter 439 Joey's Sidekick

Henry felt bored outside after Selena left to do her work, so he snuck into Joey's workshop.Joey noticed Henry came and threw him a glance before returning to her work."You don't mind my presence, do you?" asked Henry with a smile."As long as you don't leak my design drafts," said Joey nonchalantly.Henry chuckled. He sat on a single couch and played a game on his phone while watching Joey work."If you're bored, you can go out. I'll call you if I need help, and I expect you to be here within 30 minutes," said Joey, unable to concentrate under his scrutiny.Henry put away his phone. "I'm bored, yes. There isn't a lot of work here, and I feel bad for taking a paycheck without working.""There's nothing much to do now. But when I go out to stock up, I'll need your help," continued Joey. "You are expected to perform hard labor work several times a month."Henry sighed. "So, I can go out?""Go ahead. You're distracting me as well if you're here." Joey then resumed working.Hen

Chapter 440 A Family of Jerks

Emily entered the workshop and closed the door behind her. Then, she looked at Joey and said, "Ms. Linton, your company suffered some minor sabotage several months ago."This is just the first taste. Once I involve my husband, your company will be destroyed."Joey frowned. "Why must I design a dress for Yvonne?""Because you're the most popular fashion designer here, and Yvonne loves your design. Name your price, and everyone will walk out of this situation happy."Emily lifted her chin and continued condescendingly, "Besides, you accused her of bringing Rose to humiliate you. And for that, she was slapped by Henry. You need to make up to her.""What does it have anything to do with me? Henry slapped her, not me." Joey was getting annoyed."I was told that Henry now works for you. So, it has everything to do with you." Emily pressed on.Outside the workshop, Henry heard the conversation and decided to intervene. However, Monica charged in and shoved him away.She flung the door
