Chapter 51 You Are Not an Embarrassment

Joey pressed her lips together and regarded him enigmatically. She smiled slightly and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Everyone on the show is falling all over themselves to praise you. Dozens are waiting to throw themselves at you. How could you be an embarrassment? You're the star here."He had invested in this TV show and helped with her grandmother. There was no need to antagonize him. But she hated seeing Julia strut around like a proud peacock, and she felt that it was well within her rights as Zachary's wife to make a few sarcastic comments. Zachary actually took off his pants in front of her. "So, are you here to throw yourself at me too?"Joey was speechless. He was the one throwing himself at her!Joey had thought he would have some sense of shame, but he obviously didn't. In fact, he looked as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Immediately, her voice became colder. "You can think whatever you want."Zachary was prejudiced toward her, so any loophole

Chapter 52 Someone Got There First

Zachary saw Julia to the door, but she suddenly saw the corner of a white piece of paper under the cabinet in the doorway. She moved slightly and looked at the paper out of the corner of her eye. It was a design draft. Immediately, Julia thought of the rumors that she had just heard. They had said that the sponsors would mingle with them, and if they wanted more screen time, they should think of ways to approach the sponsors. She rushed over here once Henry confirmed Zachary's arrival because she was worried these people would throw themselves at him. Had someone really gotten here first? She looked at the design draft, and her eyes suddenly took on a sinister light. She stopped, turned, and smiled at Zachary, saying, "Your room seems to have a different layout from ours."Zachary looked at her sideways, cocking his head to one side. Julia pretended not to see and quickly took in the room. Although it was different, it was still just a simple bedroom with an ensuite ba

Chapter 53 She Must Win

Zachary was still wondering if she had told the truth.Joey walked to the door and said leisurely, "Mr. Gray, why don't you come over and check out the situation outside? I have to go out sooner or later."She stepped aside to let him out.Seeing her firm attitude, he didn't say anything more. He walked to the door, opened it, and looked outside. He glanced at several people nearby. Julia had called them. They didn't dare to offend him. So, they returned to the room dejectedly.Julia appeared from behind at the right time and said, "Haven't you slept yet? I just went to their bathroom."Zachary didn't respond. She had no choice but to go back.After confirming there was no one outside, he motioned for Joey to walk out.When she passed him, she said, "Mr. Gray, we'll get divorced sooner or later. You can rest assured then."He wanted to say something but Joey had already walked out and closed the door politely. She disappeared behind the door. Zachary looked at the brown doo

Chapter 54 Does He Drive the Mistress Away

Joey couldn't refute that. Maybe he was her nemesis.Selena said comfortingly, "After this competition, let's stay away from him. We won't be so unlucky then."Joey's eyes were dull. "We don't need to. After the divorce, we'll part ways."When the topic of divorce came up, Selena's breathing grew heavier."I wonder what he means. He's cooperating with you to create scandals!" Selena sneered. "It's so funny. You're his wife. Does a couple need to create scandals? He's such a bastard!"Joey felt unhappy if she didn't scold Zachary. But she was even more uncomfortable when she did.They arrived at the restaurant. Julia was chatting to the people next to her. When she looked up and saw Selena approaching her, she frowned slightly. After a pause, she put on a smile. "Selena, why are you so late today? Did you sleep late last night?"Joey sat down and glanced at Julia. She wondered whether it was a casual question or a deliberate test.Selena leisurely sat down beside her and respo

Chapter 55 There Is a Camera

Phase one of the competition was about the designers' style.There was no size. The designers needed to draw initial drafts based on their understanding of the model's style.It was a professional live program, so it was very organized. The contestants were given a lot of time. Designers had to submit their initial draft before 4:00 pm, then enter the group discussion to put it all together.It meant that designers needed a long time alone for inspiration to work on their designs.As an assistant, Joey had to communicate details and required sizes with the model. It was to facilitate the discussion when the group met. She and Selena weren't together, so there was no time to come up with another draft.After the host left, the hotel banquet hall became lively. Designers discussed the design concept theme.Joey was anxious as she followed Julia to her room. Then, she took out the notebook and tape measure. "Ms. Fisher, let me take your measurements."Yet, Julia was in no hurry. Be

Chapter 56 He Does a Good Deed

Joey's efforts had become a point of ridicule for Julia. She smiled sarcastically but remained silent as she quickly brought Julia the coffee.Julia finally stopped. Although they didn't get along well, Joey managed to get half of her measurements. After some time, Julia lazed around again and went to the bathroom to take a shower.Joey took the opportunity to send Selena a message. "How are you doing there?"Selena replied, "Try to guess."She had no problem drinking with clients or bragging about Joey's designs for days. But she had stopped drawing a long time ago. She had already forgotten most of what she had learned in college. Even if her drafts came out well, her level would only embarrass Chloe.Over the phone, Joey imagined Selena's collapse. She put away the tape measure and knocked on the bathroom door. "Ms. Sanders has asked me to help you. Come to me when you're done, and I'll continue taking your measurements."She wasn't in a rush to do the measuring. The initial

Chapter 57 The Connections

At least the design draft was important to Joey. She didn't expect Zachary to give it back. He had helped her get out of today's dilemma.She carefully wiped the dirty marks on the design draft but failed. She quickly copied the draft and said, "I'll be more careful next time. This kind of mistake won't happen again."Selena breathed a sigh of relief. "It's my fault too. If I hadn't abandoned my major all these years, I wouldn't be dragging you down."As soon as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.Joey guessed that it was the program team coming to follow Selena's creative process. She stood up immediately, signaling to Selena to get prepared.Selena, who was slumped on the sofa, immediately sat up straight. Joey picked up a pen and the draft. Coincidentally, it was the dirty one she had just put aside. It didn't matter. The drafts were all the same. She quickly made final touches along the lines of the initial draft. Joey stuffed the incomplete draft into her

Chapter 58 Slander

The other side was also lively.Joey took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and shoved a draft into Selena's hands. Selena looked calm, tucked it into her clothes, and concealed it with the hem.Julia said, "Selena, I went to see you and found your design drafts were all finished. You're amazing. Many designers need at least a week to put out anything that caters to the theme."Everyone there understood the hidden meaning behind her words.But when Joey looked at her, her expression wasn't malicious. It was admiring. No one said anything. The designers stared at Selena as she smiled calmly. Everyone thought of what Julia had asked Selena yesterday. Had Selena asked Zachary for the theme and drawn the design draft before the program?Joey was stunned when she noticed the designers' suspicion and anger.Julia's words told everyone that, without a doubt, the competition was unfair. They suspected Selena had gotten the design theme in advance. No matter how har

Chapter 59 Don't Move

Joey returned to her room with her bag.The draft she gave to Selena had also disappeared. Selena had most likely submitted it accidentally.She had gone through the rules. She knew that when the investors saw the drafts in advance, they would conduct a preliminary screening. In other words, Zachary knew if the dirty draft was there. She had no other choice but to bite the bullet and call him.He answered within seconds. His voice was low and emotionless. "What's the matter?""Can we meet? I want to discuss something with you." She tried to make her tone gentler. After all, she was asking for help."Now?" he asked meaningfully.Joey felt embarrassed. Yesterday, her attitude had been firm. But just a day later, she was asking for his help.She said tentatively, "If it's inconvenient to meet, I'll tell you now. The draft I left in your room last night …""Zac, I've been looking for you everywhere. I didn't expect you deep in the garden." Julia's voice on the phone interrupted w

Chapter 60 Highly Suspicious

Even if it was just banter, the word "child" sounded harsh.Joey had always disliked discussions about children. Even when Zachary brought it up, she felt aggrieved. He had never considered having children, yet his words managed to sting her.A brief furrow creased her brow but swiftly smoothed out. She addressed him with an unusually gentle tone, "You know Selena never met you. I lost the design draft, and you returned it to me. I'm certain you recall the dirt marks on them."He nodded slightly but questioned, "Are you certain we should be having this conversation like this?"The atmosphere had grown too tense, and their interactions felt overly intimate. Although they had various ways to address issues, this was the first time they had resorted to this approach.Joey hesitated. "I'll step outside and check things out."She brushed against Zachary's body. With a subtle movement, he wrapped his arm around her waist. "Let's talk like this." His voice was raspy, yet his express
