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
Emily was calmed by Hanson's words and quickly took out her phone to check the situation online.Connecting the dots between the crackdown on the fraud ring and Yvonne being exposed as an impostor, she immediately understood the correlation.She hastily called the PR team to handle the situation concerning Yvonne.After giving instructions, she looked at Hanson and asked, "Are we just waiting for Vaughn's results?""Yes." Hanson nodded.At that moment, Kenneth hurried in.Seeing Hanson and Emily sitting in the living room in silence, he asked, "Could Joey be your daughter?""Impossible!" Emily immediately screamed in denial.Kenneth was startled.Hanson also looked at her. "Why the big reaction?"Emily panted and insisted, "It's not possible, absolutely not…"Even though her words sounded uncertain, the resemblance and demeanor were solid evidence. But they had believed the test results instead.Moreover, she had slapped Joey just last night. Emily couldn't accept such a tr
"Joey won't accept such a result. You understand that, which is why you came to me, right?" Monica bent slightly as she ironed the clothes seriously.Hanson felt a profound sense of loss.But Monica's words confirmed his suspicions that Joey was indeed the Fulham family's long-lost daughter.Fate was so unpredictable. He had been so close to the truth before, treating Joey with the utmost kindness, which had moved her slightly.Who would have thought the truth would be so cruel a year later?Tears were rolling in his eyes. "My father had insomnia the first few years after my sister went missing. Don't be fooled by his black hair now; it's dyed. During those three years, his hair turned completely white.""Talking about this won't help. I can't persuade Joey, and I don't want to. What your parents did last night was too much. Even if they thought they were protecting their daughter, they should have been reasonable," Monica said."I know. I just wanted to talk to you. I feel so b
Previously, there had been an incident involving Zachary's kidnapping by the Fulham family. Although it was eventually determined that Brook wasn't involved, Hanson still harbored resentment.Joey's words made him think even less of Brook.But Brook was a businessman, and an alliance with the Yates family wouldn't bring him much benefit.Moreover, this marriage wasn't about financial gain. The two families had been friends for generations and wanted to strengthen their bond through marriage.So, what was the real reason behind Brook's actions?"I can't investigate this thoroughly. My uncle is deeply intertwined with our family since my mother's twin sister is married to him. I can only ask about it," Hanson said.The family's relationships were complex. Even if Brook acted out of greed, his grandparents would prioritize family harmony and urge Vaughn to forgive him."This is your family's matter. I'm just giving you a heads-up," Joey said calmly. Hanson didn't need to explain hi
Zachary's basic personal information could be found online, but this detail was hidden. It was clear that he didn't want anyone to know that he had tooth decay due to overeating candy when he was a child.Once Brook was convinced, he coldly watched as Zachary was dragged together with the cage toward the private entertainment venue's underground arena."It doesn't matter if that woman dies. With such severe injuries, she'll succumb to infection within a few days after being thrown out of the venue," Brook grumbled to the man next to him as they headed to the spectator area."But Zachary must die." His face contorted with anger as he spoke. "Without him, my daughter will eventually marry Kenneth."His parents' power will be at our disposal by then, and the billions we earn can be laundered through filmmaking. It's all his fault!""I've prepared a fun little game for him," the man, Ashton Conrad, said with a grin. While Brook's fury was evident, Ashton was excited about the upcoming
