The security guards did not hesitate. They grabbed Joey and the woman in the blue dress, and tried to drag them out.The woman was frantic. She sounded close to tears as she said to Julia, "Ms. Fisher, I'll pay for your dress! Please don't get other people into trouble!"She held onto Joey and said in a low voice, "I can't let you get kicked out. Besides, it wasn't easy for me to get this opportunity. If I get kicked out, I'll have to pay much more than 80 thousand dollars for breaking a clause in my contract."Before this, Joey hadn't really cared about Julia. She knew Zachary did not love her, so she didn't care that he was seeing Julia. However, she was toeing the line right now. Julia felt her temper rise. She wrenched herself from the security guard's hands and said coldly, "You shouldn't pay for anything. That dress doesn't cost 80 thousand dollars. She's extorting you!"Julia's expression changed. "Extorting?" she said angrily. "I can afford to buy that 700 thousand doll

When Joey and Selena got back to the banquet, it was time to dance.Selena did not give Joey a break. She pulled her right into the crowd.Joey had cut off most of the feathers on her dress to fix Julia's dress. Now, without the cover of the feathers, the dark lines of her tattoo were visible, giving her a mysterious vibe. Joey was pretty and had a great figure. When she appeared on the dance floor, she attracted many eyes."May I have the honor of a dance, miss?" A man who looked like a foreigner approached them and politely asked for a dance."Um, no …" Before she could finish, she caught Selena's murderous glare out of the corner of her eye and changed her answer quickly. "Yes, of course."The man pulled her onto the dance floor. He put his hand on her back chivalrously. Due to the open back of her dress, she could feel his skin against hers.Joey felt uncomfortable. After getting married, she hadn't had close contact with any man other than Zachary. It had been some time si

Joey had tried everything in the last three years to get pregnant. She'd done health checkups at the hospital, and they had only found some follicular development issues. She'd even tried artificial insemination, but nothing worked. Right now, though, she understood something."I think you'd know if I were infertile," Zachary said, his anger apparent in his expression.Joey raised an eyebrow. "I don't know. Why did I have so much trouble trying to get pregnant over the last three years, then?""Is this all you think about?" Zachary had never been this frustrated before. Every time they spoke, she talked about kids and getting pregnant.They were getting divorced because she couldn't get pregnant. It was as if he was nothing but a tool to get her pregnant.Joey was stunned when she heard his question. When she came to her senses, she realized Zachary had picked her up. She began struggling. "Let me go, Zachary! Let me go this instant!"Zachary ignored her. He took out a car

Monica had been taking care of Charles all this time. She had never been to the city before, so of course she had gotten lost.Joey was anxious when she heard her grandmother on the phone. She was worried about her safety if she stayed at the taxi stand, so she said hastily, "Grandma, can you give your phone to the driver? I'll talk to him.""Okay, okay!" Monica handed her phone to the driver.The driver sounded impatient. "What is wrong with you?" he scolded. He continued, "How could you let your grandmother roam around without supervision? She doesn't even know where she wants to go. You're wasting my time!"Joey apologized, "I'm so sorry for the trouble, sir. Can you drop her off at Watersgate Apartments? I'll be waiting for her there. I'll pay you three times the fare when you arrive. Is that okay?"Watersgate Apartments was a luxury neighborhood. Mollified by Joey's politeness and the offer of a tip, the driver agreed. "Fine. If you're not there, I'll leave her by the side

Monica cooked dinner and made chamomile tea as the evening approached. However, when dinner time came around, she did not start eating. She kept looking over at the door. "Why isn't Zachary home yet?"Joey looked at her. She felt sad when she thought about what Leonard had said.She couldn't imagine how she had made her way to an unfamiliar city half-blind with so many things. She'd never even left their little town.Monica was worried about her. She was worried Joey would be all alone and left with no family after her death.Did Joey think she was going to die soon and wanted to see if her granddaughter was having a good life? How could she let Monica worry about her?Holding back tears, Joey forced out a smile and stood up. "He's busy. Don't worry, I'll call him."She went to her bedroom and wiped away her tears. After some hesitation, she called Zachary. She knew what she was doing. She needed Zachary to come over, even if it meant having to beg. All he had to do was have a
