When it came to the Fulham family's matters, Joey often felt that some issues could be brought to light by tearing through just a thin layer of paper.Even as slow as she was, she knew what Vaughn's and the others' attitudes toward her signified. She just didn't want to acknowledge it."Sorry… I didn't mean it." Kenneth quickly apologized after realizing he had misspoken."It's fine." Joey shook her head.After Kenneth finished eating, Joey asked Stacy to make a bed for him, and he went to sleep.As Joey continued working, a call from an unknown number came in.She pressed the answer button, and before she could speak, an elderly woman's voice came through. "Ms. Linton, is Kenneth with you?"Joey's expression was indifferent as she asked, "Mrs. Yates Senior?""So, you still remember me." Eleanor snorted coldly. "Ms. Linton, I know you're a decent person, but decent people shouldn't be backstabbers, right?""What do you mean? Please clarify." Joey's tone didn't even waver."Th

Rose was carrying a tray of food. Since Monica had her back to her, she tried to sneak in quietly.However, when she was caught by Joey, she stood there awkwardly.Monica noticed and turned to look."Didn't you say you'd rather starve to death than eat? What's this? Are you hungry now?" Monica immediately taunted.Zachary came downstairs just in time to hear Rose complain, "Zac, did you hear that? This old hag is trying to starve me to death!""Monica has been saying that for a month, but you're still strong and fit enough to fight her," Zachary replied coolly as he sat next to Harold to watch TV.Rose was furious. She sat down at the dining table, took a bite of food, and then looked at Joey.Joey felt awkward. This once proud old lady had become someone everyone disliked.She continued eating her meal gracefully and elegantly.As Rose kept stealing glances at her, she grew more annoyed."What did Charles teach her? How could she dye her hair like this?" Rose finally couldn'

Joey walked slowly and spoke in a relaxed tone, "It hasn't been easy for Henry, either. He lost an eye for my sake. I'd feel bad if I don't treat him well."Joey was very considerate toward Henry. She rarely let him do much work, and his salary was almost like free money.Zachary looked at her. "Do you feel guilty?""Of course. Henry is a handsome young man. He will want to get married in the future, and losing an eye puts him at a disadvantage in finding a spouse."Joey was very concerned about Henry's lost eye. As long as she was around, she would protect him."Then just give him a raise. He's incredibly jealous of Shane's salary of two million a month."Zachary couldn't help but laugh as he added, "They work for us so diligently because they want more money. Over time, they've developed feelings for us as well.""How much do you think is appropriate?" Joey asked."When he was with me before, it was 50 thousand a month. He was always ready to risk his life for me," Zachary ex

Seeing this message, Joey couldn't help but inquire further.Joey: "Flaunting wealth?"Selena: "Yes. Elise said that the Fulham family's children get an annual allowance of five million until they start their businesses. But Elise seems to spend more than eight million each month."Oh, and in that fashion design game you were involved in, she spent nearly ten million in just one month."Thinking of what Zachary had said, Joey slowly typed, "Find out more details from Elise."After Selena agreed, Joey discussed this unusual situation with Zachary."Shane, check Angel's financial records.""Okay."While Shane made a call, Joey couldn't help but ask Zachary, "Do you think this could be a breakthrough?""It might be. Sometimes, gossip can be very useful," Zachary said with a smile."Back in the day, gossip was called intelligence gathering," Joey noted. Sometimes, listening to gossip was more effective than conducting investigations.Zachary nodded in agreement as the living roo

The reason why Joey worked so hard was so that she and Monica would never be looked down upon again."Thank you, Grandma." Joey held the milk and thanked Monica once again for her understanding.She wasn't like Eleanor, who forced Kenneth to marry someone who had wronged him for the sake of family harmony."Get some rest. Treat this as a vacation while you're here," Monica advised.Joey nodded again."How did Zac treat you today when you were out?" Monica couldn't help but ask."It was fine. Why?" Joey asked in a serious tone.Monica smiled and said, "Just curious. You two should get along well. I'll go back to my room now."After she left, Joey slowly drank the milk. Her gaze was distant, as if she were lost in thought.…Time passed slowly, and on the third day, Joey received a call from Hanson."Can you come back to Imperia?" Hanson's voice was urgent."What's the matter?" Joey asked coolly.Hanson was silent for a moment before saying, "Joey, there are some things we h
