Chapter 281 Sleep on the Couch

Ryan's heart skipped a beat, knowing he was in trouble. He shouldn't have run his mouth. He tried to move on from the topic with a laugh and gestured like he was slitting his throat."How could I do such an immoral thing? I'm afraid your wife will chop my head off," he said. Laurence looked past Ryan dismissively and rested his gaze on the woman behind him. "Really? Zoey, do you mind?" he asked. Zoey had just peeled an apple and took a bite of it. She feigned ignorance and questioned, "What were you guys talking about?" Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that the situation wouldn't get awkward. However, he still found that Laurence was acting strange because he wouldn't have given a damn if Ryan brought up such nonsense previously. As Ryan opened his mouth to speak, Laurence interjected with a low voice, his dark gaze trained on Zoey. "Ryan asked me if I cheated on you." Ryan was struck speechless.Laurence suddenly smiled and addressed Zoey intimately like he did be

Chapter 282 Tired

To Zoey, the look in Laurence’s eyes seemed to say, "I don't even mind yet, so why are you acting up first?" Laurence snorted and said dryly, "There's no need." She pretended not to hear him and carried a pillow to the couch. He glanced at the time and said impatiently, "Get in bed." She stayed motionless. Laurence didn't have much patience with her and grabbed her arm, picking her up horizontally. He tossed her onto the bed roughly, the hem of her dress riding up to her thighs. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she blushed. He hugged her waist tightly and warned into her ear, "Don't play this game with me."Zoey couldn't beat his strength, and her breathing quickened. It wasn't that she couldn't bear sharing a bed with him, but she worried he would act up again in the middle of the night. She couldn't deal with his impulsive bursts. "I'm tired, Mr. Scott."Laurence stared at her red lips and said nothing. He switched off the lights and slipped his finger into he

Chapter 283 Support

Zoey felt her head spin slightly from being tugged back down onto the bed so roughly. Her whole body felt weak, as if all her energy had been sapped from her the night before. "I've had enough sleep and I want to get up now," she insisted, implying that she wouldn't stop him from sleeping, but she didn't want him to disturb her. Laurence glanced at the time and found that it was late. However, Zoey didn't have any urgent business, so why was she in such a hurry? He put his arm around her waist dominantly and said in a voice that sounded thick but sexy from sleep, "You'd better rest longer, or my mother is going to come at me if you get any thinner."Zoey had no desire to stay in bed with Laurence, so she pushed his arm aside. She sat up slowly, fighting against the soreness, and folded the blanket clumsily. She walked to the wardrobe to grab some clothes and went into the bathroom to change. A few minutes later, she checked herself in the mirror. Laurence also sat up and leaned

Chapter 284 Confusing

Matthew had worked for Laurence for many years, but he had rarely seen such a dark expression on the CEO’s face. He felt as if the temperature in the room had fallen a few degrees. He didn't know who Laurence was talking to on the phone, but they could ruin his mood so drastically in minutes.Laurence was so furious that his chest ached like a fire burned in it. However, he had started it. He gripped his phone so hard that his knuckles turned white. He let out a cold laugh and smirked, suppressing his rage and saying nonchalantly into the phone, "You really impress me. I must say, you have my respect."Zoey said, "I must find a way to continue living my life, mustn't I?" She felt exhausted and no longer wanted to bother with him. She hung up and put her phone face-down on the table. Arielle couldn't stop herself from slapping the table and bellowing, "How could he be so rude? Why are his words so venomous? He's so ruthless that I really can't stand him!" Zoey comforted Arielle as i

Chapter 285 In Too Deep

Based on Laurence’s character, on the day he had kicked down the door of the hotel room, he and Zoey should’ve met at the Bureau of Civil Affairs the next day to sign their divorce papers. It was bound to happen sooner or later. "He absolutely loathes me. And yet, he refuses to divorce me," Zoey mused.She said it in such a light-hearted way that it felt like she was talking about someone else’s relationship, and not her own. She seldom confided in anyone, as she was used to bottling everything up in her heart, but tonight was different. "He always treats me like shit and has that look of disgust on his face when he looks at me. So why does he refuse to let me go?" Zoey lamented."Well, it could be that he’s the one who’s unwilling to let you go too, you know. Perhaps it could be that he doesn’t want it to end just like that?" Arielle said cautiously. Her bestie Zoey was just too beautiful, gentle, and lovely. It’d be the loss of so many people if they didn’t fall for her. And

Chapter 286 Who Paid More?

Zoey wasn’t going to acknowledge the fake words coming from Rick’s mouth. He noticed her cold expression and sneered, “Don’t you believe me?” She didn't want to continue this argument. Expressionless, she reminded him, "Rick Preston, it probably isn't good for the Preston family to find out we go way back.” His mother died in truly questionable circumstances. He probably didn't want his misdeeds revealed. Rick smiled. "Indeed, it's not. But the Preston family only have me now." That was why even though they looked down on him as an illegitimate son, they still brought him back home from abroad. Zoey retorted, "Are you sure your father has no other illegitimate children out there?" The way she spoke with a tense, serious expression was reminiscent of Laurence. Not only in the indifferent gaze they shared, but even their aura was similar. She smiled again and continued, “Mind your own business when you have your own problems to solve.” Rick was rendered speechless. Masking

Chapter 287 Don't Move

Laurence spoke through gritted teeth, and his tone didn't sound very pleasant.Zoey winced as Laurence pinched her face. He stared at her with cold eyes as if trying to bore a hole through her. Zoey thought he was becoming too moody. His temper had worsened lately. In any case, it was best not to provoke him. She had already tried her best not to.Laurence released his frustration, and his expression softened. "Forget it. I won't bring him up with you," he dismissed.Zoey's chin was sore as she pulled away from his grip. The skin on her face where he had pinched burned red. She furrowed her brow and accused him, "You hurt me."Laurence took two steps forward and pretended to inspect her face. "Let me take a look."Zoey instinctively took a few steps back and remained silent.Laurence had indeed pinched her too hard. It was no surprise if he had really caused her pain. His thumb was always hard and cold like a stone.Zoey walked past him to enter the hallway and pressed the eleva

Chapter 288 Don’t Bring That Up Again

Sweat appeared on Zoey’s forehead due to her furious struggle. Gradually, she sensed the change in Laurence as she heard his low voice calm down. She quietly lied on the couch and stared at him. “Get up,” she said.Laurence wasn’t one to listen to her, and he trapped her in his embrace, unable to move. Zoey was angry; she wouldn’t have anything to say if Laurence had waited for her downstairs just to sleep with her. She looked at him exasperatedly. “If you cling to me like this, I’m going to suspect that you just can’t leave me.”Laurence’s gaze stilled, and he dug his thumbs harder into her face. A moment of silence later, he let out a cold chuckle. “Who do you think you are?”Zoey let out a huge breath. This couldn’t get any better. She continued to rile him up. “So what are you doing now?”“Can’t I torment you?” Laurence asked as he dug his hands into her chin, his grip not at all gentle.Zoey turned her face away, not wanting to look at him. “Is there a limit to how long thi

Chapter 289 Continue to Look Into It

Zoey was surprised by the helplessness she detected in Laurence’s voice and wondered if her ears were playing tricks on her. He really didn’t seem to want her to bring that up again.She went quiet. Reopening old wounds didn’t feel great. So she got up and returned to her bedroom to wash up. As the tap ran, Zoey absentmindedly checked herself in the mirror. The mirror was misted up, causing her reflection to be blurry. She rubbed at the mirror, only to find out that she looked far better than before, much to her surprise. It was probably because she'd had time to process and think things through.Zoey then took a shower, only leaving the bathroom once she'd partially dried her hair. The door to the bedroom was ajar, and the lights in the living room were still on. Laurence was still there, seemingly making a phone call in the living room. Zoey glanced at the clock. If he hadn’t left by now, he was probably going to stay for the night.Zoey closed the bedroom door, cutting off Lauren

Chapter 290 Prelude

Zoey still hadn't found a job. However, she was determined in her pursuit of a new job, unwilling to believe that Laurence could have so much power over her life.After a break, Zoey went to the shopping mall toilet to swap her high heels out for a pair of flats that she'd just bought to continue job hunting.Finally, at 3 pm, Zoey got an invitation for an interview.The invitation was from a well-known entertainment company, and the job opening was for the position of manager.Zoey wasn’t particularly interested in being a manager for a celebrity, but she accepted it since she hadn't received other offers. After all, beggars couldn't be choosers.Zoey got the company address and hastily made her way there using the subway.Perhaps it was because the entertainment company was well known, but it was situated in the busiest area of the city.She called the human resources department once she arrived at the company. The staff quickly rushed to greet her, looking more excited for th
