Joey returned to the office with good news. Unbeknownst to her, Monica had been waiting for her. She immediately cried when she saw her."Selena was taken away by the police just now. Infringement of privacy, I heard? What is happening?" Monica grabbed Joey's sleeves and stomped her feet in frustration.Joey patted her on the shoulder. "There's a misunderstanding with the Fulhams. Let me ask them.""Please help her. Selena is also like my granddaughter. I don't want her to get hurt," said Monica earnestly as she let go of Joey's sleeves."I'll make sure she's safe," uttered Joey. Then, she called Hanson while Monica called Zachary.Hiding in her room, Monica asked Zachary what Selena had done quietly."She installed cameras in Yvonne's room. Yvonne had anticipated that and used that against her. According to the law, the worst that can happen is a heavy fine and ten days of imprisonment," Zachary comforted Monica.The damage dealt to Emmen's reputation, however, was irreversible

Joey stayed in the café after Hanson left. Then, she called Henry."Yes, Ms. Linton?" asked Henry gleefully when he picked up the call."Do you know that Zachary is getting engaged with Yvonne?" said Joey, upset. There was no running away from the truth.Henry was at first surprised by the news, but it didn't take long for him to figure out the reason behind Zachary's actions. "It's probably true if the news has traveled to your ears."So, even Henry wasn't privy to this decision. Joey wondered to herself what Zachary was thinking."What is he doing? Is there no other way of solving the problem?" Joey was slightly annoyed. Why must he sacrifice himself?Henry stammered, "The Fulhams haven't used their trump card yet. Maybe Mr. Gray is worried that if they show their hand, the damage dealt to Emmen will be irreversible."Joey fell silent for a while before asking Henry, "Is Hanson's father that powerful?""Only the fearless and the powerful can gain a footing in Imperia. Emmen i

Instead of answering, Zachary said, "Tell me. When we were married, did you want to give me a child because you loved me, or because our grandmothers asked you to do so?"Joey frowned. "Why are you asking me?""Just answer me, please," ordered Zachary."Zachary, when one gets married, they build a family. It's only normal. Even if Rose or Grandma hadn't rushed me, I would have wanted to have a child, too," answered Joey honestly."So, you wanted to give me a child out of obligation. It wasn't because of me, right?" Zachary felt frustrated."Zachary, it's all in the past. Let's not bring it up again. Just tell me if you have a way out once you get engaged to the Fulhams."Not one to dwell in the past, Joey merely wanted to know if Zachary had a backup plan for his risky endeavor."You care so much about whether you'll owe me a favor, thinking that you'll never be able to repay me. What are you going to do if I tell you no? Will you live in regret forever? Will you be upset and la

Joey and Selena took in Hanson, who "ran away from home".They sat before the company bar's counter where Joey was taking a sip of her milk. Henry warmed up the milk for her. She wasn't a fan of it, but she had no other choice."Only the staff lounge is available here. You can live with me if you don't mind," offered Selena gently, one hand holding her chin."I don't mind," agreed Hanson right away.Joey found it rather amusing. She did not pin Hanson as someone who would argue with his family. Did his relationship with Selena somehow change him?"I'm going to bed now. You guys can continue." Joey left with a yawn.Inside her room, she couldn't help but think about Zachary's engagement to the Fulhams. She felt rather upset about it and didn't have the motivation to do anything.She wondered what was happening to her. Was it the guilt from owing Zachary a favor? Joey tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.…News of Zachary's engagement to Yvonne occupied all headl

Joey was stumped by his question. She let go of his tie. Noticing the crumpled state of the clothing article, she ordered, "Tidy yourself up now."Zachary adjusted and brushed his tie with his slender fingers, adding, "You haven't answered my question.""I don't owe you any answers." Then, she went back into the venue."I can never get a genuine answer from you," uttered Zachary behind her. "I don't understand. Is it that difficult to answer my question?"Not wanting to entertain him, Joey continued to walk away. "I won't feel guilty or happy about it. Just marry her."Then, she disappeared into the event hall.Zachary stood in the same spot and thought about the whole interaction. He knew that Joey was angry. But whether that was jealousy… He had no idea.When Joey returned to the launch party, she was still slightly annoyed as she switched on her earbuds. Harrison's voice immediately appeared over the intercom."Where were you? You didn't respond when I called you just now."
