Joey nodded. "She's Brook's wife."Monica wore a grim expression upon hearing Joey's answer."Brook's wife?" she repeated subconsciously."Shirley and Emily are twins. Emily is the elder twin, and Shirley is the younger twin," Joey explained as she invited Selena to have breakfast together.Sitting on the mat, Selena snickered, "Both are cowards. They hired people to sabotage us instead of fighting us fair and square."Joey patted her shoulder to console her. "Don't let them get to you."Before long, the conversation returned to the betrayal of Evy.Monica walked toward the door. A lot of things were going on in her mind.After breakfast, Harrison made a surprise visit. He looked tired but happy."I've convinced the board, but you two must come to my office for a meeting now." Harrison sat on the sofa and said keenly."Sure, no problem about that," Selena agreed.Harrison turned to her and asked, "So, should we go now?""Before I go, can I tell you something? You've heard w

Zachary's blunt response rendered Joey speechless.Inside the restaurant, both parties sat not too far from each other at different tables.Joey and Harrison talked about Evy's betrayal."We used good fabrics. I'm sure the sales will be good if we come out with a new product. Anyway, when we make the announcement tomorrow, we will have a surge of popularity. But you must reconsider the price range of your clothes, be them cheap or high-end products."High fashion makes a lot of profit, but selling a large amount of affordable, cheap clothing will generate a sizable revenue too," Joey told Harrison courteously.Harrison nodded. "I agree. Once we announce our collaboration, we will adjust the price. Emmen has tons of followers but they mean nothing if they do not buy our products. I'm planning to target the general consumer this time. What do you think?"Selena then said, "I'm glad we are on the same page."While Joey and Harrison were engaged in a fruitful conversation, the atmos

Joey agreed with what Selena said. She, too, felt angry but powerless.Suddenly, the office phone rang.Selena saw that the caller was Pixie and picked it up right away."Hello?" she uttered coldly.Joey leaned closer to eavesdrop."It's me, Ms. Sanders. Can you contain the rumors online so we can release news of our collaboration later?" said Harrison professionally.Selena was pleasantly surprised. "Your company doesn't have any issue with the rumors?""What's the point of bringing this up when we're working together? Who knows what's real and what's fake anymore?"We just have to do our job and dispel the rumors. Don't forget the press conference tonight," said Harrison nonchalantly.A scandal broke out right when they were about to collaborate. It didn't take Harrison too long to realize that this was yet another sabotage attempt launched against Emmen."So you don't believe the rumors?" Selena was still shocked.Harrison chuckled. "You told me that someone's trying to s

Many resonated with what Selena had said.The journalist was furious, but he was quickly escorted out by security.Thus ended the Q&A session. The group then went to a restaurant.Joey sat next to Selena and told Harrison the inspirations she had obtained during the conference."Pixie still supports their own members after a decade. I think your brand is sentimental, and I want to design something along that theme." Joey showed Harrison her notebook.Selena had already seen Joey's design, so she could afford to space out a little bit.She turned her head and looked to the side, finding the person she expected to see.Hanson met her gaze. As they locked eyes, something unfamiliar budded inside Selena's heart.She withdrew her gaze and returned to Joey and Harrison's conversation."I like your idea. But I'm not well-versed in fashion. I'm sure you know what the audience likes, given the number of fans you have," Harrison was saying.He was only summoned back to be the CEO in an

"What are you doing? I'm her husband. Can't I come here for my wife?" the man hollered.Joey wanted to push him away, only to have him tighten his grip."Let go of her. She's hurt! She needs to go to the hospital now!" yelled one of the people who came to welcome Joey.The man hugged Joey even tighter. Joey felt an overwhelming force crushing her chest. She almost couldn't breathe.The cameras from the paparazzi around her flashed incessantly. They were exhilarated—news of Joey's marital status would surely go viral on the internet."No! I know she is safe. She only pretends to be hurt because she doesn't want to forgive me."She came to Imperia to avoid me. I'm sure of it. And I came to apologize to her," the man wailed thunderously."Let go!" Joey squeezed out two words as she caught her breath.The man heard what she had said and began sobbing. "I'm sorry, my love. I shouldn't have pissed you off. Come back to me. I have reflected upon myself. I know I did so much—""Shut u
