Joey looked at Monica, who got up and sat next to her on the bed. Then, she patted Joey's head. "You weren't being yourself either when you were with him."Like with your ash blond hair here, you are sharp, brilliant, and confident. But in front of him, you were meek and docile. Why? Was it because he preferred someone like that?""I know he doesn't like me because he was forced to marry me. Therefore, I tried to be nicer to not annoy him." Joey continued, "Did I make a mistake?""I don't know. But something must have gone wrong, because the divorce gave you two so many grievances, yet you two kept looking back reluctantly to the good, old times."Just be yourself before your loved ones. There's no need to hide anything," consoled Monica.Joey was still upset. She snuggled into Monica's arms and uttered, "Zachary and Yvonne are getting married. It bothers me a lot, but I know I don't have the right to tell him to do anything.""Is he doing this for Selena?" asked Monica. She wasn

Harrison heard the barely discernible sadness in Joey's voice and turned upset.Igor used to work at Pixie and was related to the shareholders who sold their shares. In a way, Pixie had caused her trouble this time."Let's seize Igor's properties. We shouldn't show him any more kindness," uttered Harrison after a long silence."How influential are our shareholders in Imperia?" Joey refused to believe that things were as simple as they seemed.Harrison walked closer to her and said, "Mr. Chester knows a lot of people. The other two also have a lot of shares and know many people, but they are in it for the profit alone. They can't be trusted.""Can you ask Mr. Chester to investigate Igor and his family? Fiona's child has Jacobs syndrome. I read up on it, and this kind of patient is very dangerous. I have reason to think that someone found out about this and used the child to harm us."After all, many tried to sabotage Emmen, like Brook.Harrison was no stranger to the Fulhams' sab

Zachary's lips curved into a smile, his eyes crinkling slightly.Joey quickly let go of him and sat back in her original position when she realized how close they were."If my child has XYY syndrome…""Can you shut up?" Joey was somewhat angry.Such genetic issues were excruciating for both parents and children. How could he mention it so casually?Zachary's lips curved slightly. He looked at Joey briefly before saying, "Rest assured. I won't have children either if you don't marry.""Just drop me off at the company entrance." Joey ignored his comment."Alright." Zachary nodded, though he couldn't shake the sensation of her hand covering his mouth.They hadn't had such intimate contact for a long time.When they arrived at Emmen, Zachary couldn't resist grabbing Joey's hand just as she was about to exit the car.Her hands were very comfortable to hold as they were soft and warm."What are you doing?" Joey tried to pull away instinctively.Zachary held her hand tighter. "You

Joey pushed the door open.Henry and Lawrence were playing on their phones, laughing like two fools.Lawrence turned around and displayed a goofy grin that made him look truly silly upon seeing Joey."Am I interrupting?" Joey asked while pretending to be serious."No… not at all." Lawrence's smile disappeared from his face as he quickly got off Henry's bed."You seem to be recovering well," Joey said as she walked into the room and placed the fruit basket on the table."I bounce back quickly with good food since I'm still young," Henry replied in his usual relaxed manner.Joey looked at him before saying, "You really should recover soon. I'm not used to not having you make my milk.""What is Stacy doing if she can't even make you milk?" Henry immediately frowned. If someone working under Zachary was this useless, they'd be out of the circle in no time."She just doesn't have the habit. Why do you always give me a cup of milk every morning and night?" Joey asked as she sat down

Zachary seemed oblivious to Yvonne's words. His mind was mostly on Joey and partly on the artificial intelligence technology presentation on stage.Meanwhile, Joey discussed her idea with Jorge, who seemed quite surprised. After pondering for a moment, he said, "So, do you mean this application can only be developed by our company?""Yes. That's why I approached you." Joey smiled."I find your proposal very interesting. I'll discuss it in a meeting back at the office. But how much can you invest?" Jorge asked with a smile."How about I forgo the fashion dividends for now? I can contribute if you need more funds later. What do you think?"Joey knew this was a bit opportunistic, but Emmen and Pixie needed money, and she couldn't afford a significant investment right now.Moreover, she couldn't be sure if it would meet her expectations without a finished product. If the product turned out poorly, she would just suffer a loss."Alright." Jorge understood her situation, especially si
