Vaughn said displeasedly, "I can see you don't like Yvonne at all."Zachary's lips curled slightly, but he didn't respond.Emily felt a pang of bitterness in her heart when she overheard their conversation."This marriage wasn't my idea. It was her request. I keep my word. Since the Fulham family spared Emmen, I will fulfill my promise and ally with the Fulham family," Zachary informed Vaughn calmly.Vaughn said no more. Instead, he stood up and motioned for Emily to follow him upstairs.…Joey arrived at Spring Heaven with several business partners in the evening. Just as they were seated, they saw Yvonne and Zachary entering the restaurant together.A trace of surprise flashed across Joey's face. Zachary was in Imperia, and she didn't even know.But after recalling Zachary's previous words, she quickly understood.Zachary had said he would get married eventually. What he was doing now was merely confirming what he had mentioned before.Joey looked away.Zachary also notice
Joey caught a glimpse of them from the corner of her eye as they left the restaurant.After finishing the meal with the various investors, Joey arranged for a taxi to take them to their hotel before getting into her car.However, her car was blocked by Zachary's before she could leave the parking lot.Zachary sat in his car, looking displeased as he stared at Joey, who furrowed her brows but said nothing.Zachary got out of the car after exchanging gazes with her. When he knocked on her window three times, Joey reluctantly got out as well."What's the matter?" Joey asked, her brows still furrowed."I didn't inform you beforehand when I came today. I found out from Henry that you were in a meeting, so I went to the Fulham Estate first," he explained assertively while inserting himself between Joey and the car.Joey remained expressionless. "Why do you need to explain to me, Mr. Gray? Yvonne is your fiancée.""Are you jealous?" Zachary countered."Zachary, we're divorced. Please
Back at the Fulham Estate, Yvonne couldn't stop sobbing in the living room.When Vaughn came downstairs and saw her crying uncontrollably, he immediately approached and asked, "What's wrong, darling?""Zachary's ex-wife is Joey. Did you both know and not tell me?" Yvonne asked Vaughn with swollen eyes.Vaughn sat beside her and was about to explain, but then he noticed her swollen cheeks and asked urgently, "Who hit you?"Yvonne cried, "I went to dinner with Zac. Who knew Joey would deliberately bring along a few men to eat with her when she saw us there?"She was even laughing and joking with them. Zachary got angry, so I went to confront her, but he hit me because of her."She sobbed even harder.Vaughn stood up angrily, about to grab his phone to call and scold Zachary.Emily came down from upstairs and hurried over to hug Yvonne when she saw Yvonne crying miserably."Don't call him… Forget it. It's my own fault for insisting on marrying him and not knowing he still harbore
Monica gripped the broom tightly while glaring at Vaughn and Emily. "You will regret this sooner or later!"Vaughn snorted coldly, thinking Monica was talking about public opinion matters. He wore a look of disdain. "I won't regret it. Even if Yvonne did something wrong, we'll support her as her parents."Emily looked at Joey and said, "I never expected someone with talent and character like you to behave so poorly."Yvonne tried to please you multiple times, but you didn't appreciate it. Instead, you joined forces with Zachary to humiliate her! You knew all along that you wouldn't lose even if Zachary married into the Fulham family."Since Zachary likes you, you were perfectly fine with him getting engaged to Yvonne. It would solve Emmen's crisis, and you would get to enjoy seeing her make a fool of herself!"Joey had no intention of explaining. Her cheeks were flushed from being slapped, clearly indicating that Emily had given it her all."You won't believe an outsider's words,
Zachary looked at her and said, "You can call me if they come to cause trouble again. It's a good thing Stacy was working late and called me in time today. Otherwise, who knows how chaotic it would have been here?"Vaughn would have really smashed Emmen up.Joey pursed her lips and remained silent.Although she was angry tonight, she also had a kind of frustration and sadness that she didn't quite understand."You should go back first. I want to rest," Joey said in a tone that carried a hint of coldness.Zachary looked at her for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Are you upset?""No," Joey replied with a stern face."Rest early, then. Remember to call me if they come to trouble you," Zachary said soothingly.He had a bit of understanding as to why Joey was upset.After all, they were related by blood. How could she not be upset when Vaughn and Emily came to bully her?After Zachary left, Joey tidied up the contracts on hand silently, let Stacy leave, and then returned to h
"Hurry up and do a search!" Zachary commanded sternly.As Shane quickly relayed the orders, Zachary returned to the car. He sat inside silently for a moment, and then sent a message to Brook and Yvonne."You have no way out. Tell me where Selena is, and I will come to exchange myself for her."He knew that it would be impossible to find Selena in a short time even if Shane searched this place thoroughly. The only option now was for him to go and make the exchange.The longer it dragged on, the more danger Selena would be in.Neither Yvonne nor Brook replied to him. Instead, he received a location from an anonymous number, as well as the message, "Don't bring anyone!"After getting out of the car, Zachary looked at Shane. "I need to go somewhere. Shane, you need to be adaptable from now on. I might never come back if you're not capable enough."Shane was shocked as he asked, "Are you going alone?""If we rely on ourselves for this search, we might end up with only Selena's corps
Since Joey was awake, she continued reading the contract she hadn't finished last night. However, she found it hard to concentrate.If Rose's involvement in the scam was confirmed, it would bring significant turmoil to the Gray Group.She put the contract aside, turned on her computer, and checked Twitter for updates on the incident. She was quickly drawn to the top trending topic.#Police Crack Down on Three Major Scam Networks Involving BillionsDue to technological advancements, scams had become increasingly sophisticated over the years, with victims losing a few thousand to millions.Joey clicked on the topic and was horrified to see the name "Taysee Village".Taysee Village, a long-standing hub for scam operations with connections to international fraud groups, was found to have millions of phone numbers used for scams.The most egregious aspect was that scammers had infiltrated telecommunications companies, becoming insiders who sold phone cards to Taysee Village.This cr
Before Hanson could fly back to Imperia, Emily called to inform him that Yvonne had been taken away."Rose admitted that it was Yvonne who made her join the Ponzi scheme! What on earth is going on?" Emily was crying uncontrollably.Vaughn had already gone to the police station to negotiate about Yvonne's detainment."Wait until I get back," Hanson replied anxiously.If Yvonne's identity was fake, the blood test results Vaughn and Emily witnessed were probably fabricated right in front of them by a doctor.Emily was still crying. Feeling annoyed, Hanson comforted her briefly before hanging up.If Yvonne's identity was fake, the Fulham family would become a laughingstock.They just held an extravagant banquet for her last year. Everyone in Imperia knew that Vaughn and Emily had found their daughter who had been missing for nearly 20 years.And now, he was told that her identity was fake.So, what was the motive behind the person who had a random woman be their daughter?…Whil
