Sparkling Girl
Chapter 2 Zoey Was Kept by Someone
The shout made the four people upstairs jump.
Hazel looked a bit skeptical. “Doctor? What doctor?”
They all crowded by the window and saw Zoey surrounded by men in black, heading towards a fancy Maybach.
Timothy was just as confused.
Brian was staring hard at Zoey as she was about to get into the car, Lana’s eyes flashed with jealousy, She dramatically covered her mouth, her face full of implications. Could Zoey really be that dumb?
The other three looked at her, surprised. “Luna, do you know something? Hazel asked.
Luna put on a shy and troubled look at just the right moment. After everyone kept pressing her, she finally spoke with teary eyes, “I always heard Zoey talking late at night with some guy, all lovey–dovey, I didn’t believe it at first, but it turns out the really is that shameless. I guess the owner of that luxury car is the guy she was with last night! He must be a doctor, and super rich!”
Hearing this, Timothy and Hazel almost passed out from anger.
As if to confirm Luna’s words, a middle–aged man with gray hair got out of the Maybach downstairs.
Even though he was older, he still looked classy, and you could tell he was quite handsome when he was younger.
The man said a few words to Zoey with a smile, then turned and opened the car door for her like a gentleman.
This scene made the four people upstairs even more convinced of Zory’s promiscuity,
Brian’s face turned dark with shame and anger. “Such a lowly woman How could she be so shameless?”
He stormed off, leaving Timothy and Hazel clutching their chests, unable to calm down for a long time.
Luna stepped forward to comfort them, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small card at the foot of the bed.
She picked it up quietly, but when she saw the name on it, her face changed instantly.
Unexpectedly, the man who spent the night with Zory was not the thing she had arranged.
It was him? Why is this damn Zoey so lucky to connect with such a big shot! Jealousy flashed in Luna’s eyes.
In an instant, Luna seemed to think of something, and the hatred in her eyes turned into pride. She quietly slipped the card into her pocket.
Zoey walked out of the lab, looking effortlessly stylish even in her bruky protective suit, her captivating eyes sparkling above the
mask.
She took off her mask and gloves, pinched her sore nose, and let out long breath. Today’s experiment went well, and the research on the nano–scale micro–detector finally had a good start. If all the subsequent processes went smoothly, this detector could benefit the entire Emerald City and even all of Novaria.
Several professors with gray beards walked out of the lab one after another. As soon as they saw Zoey, they were moved to tears. “Dr. K! We really owe it all to you this time!”
“This data had us old guys stumped for days, but you cracked it like it was nothing!”

“Yeah, the biggest bundle is off of the way. Those top–notch professes and experts from abroad can’t wait to exchange ideas with wul Can you find some time to guble them?”
Even though these old professors were over the moon, they still sounded a bit tentative in their words. Everyone knew that despite her youth, Dr. K’s achievements in various patents far outshone thei
Everyone wanted Zoey to join this international exchange and soak up some advanced tech and experience, but in the end, it was up
to Zoey to agree.
With everyone looking at her expectantly, Zoey nodded lightly. “Alright, just let me know when it’s set up.”
They all breathed a sigh of relief, followed by overwhelming joy, Sin working together, Zoey had always been buried in the lab, never showing up at any big international events. Her willingness to participate this time was a pleasant surprise,
After packing up and heading out, Zoey immediately spotted the fanlar Maybach parked outside.
as soon as he saw Zoey. “Miss
The middle–aged man with gray hair, Terry Perez, stood respectfully by the car and smiled kindly as s King, are you done? Mr. Jesse Phillips asked me to take you to the ancestral home.”
Zoey frowned slightly, feeling a bit of a headache. This Jesse is really persistent, she thought.
Before coming to the lab this afternoon, Terry had mentioned that lesse was talking about her breaking off the engagement and was eager to introduce his eldest grandson to her.
He had gone on and on, saying things like “wealth beyond measure, the most handsome face in the world,” and “devoted love praising him to the skies.
At that time, Zoey just smiled, thinking Jesse was joking and making things up. Unexpectedly, Jesse was serious and even sent Terry to pick her up.
Thinking of Jesse’s life–saving grace to her many years ago, Zoey knew she couldn’t refuse, so she resignedly nodded and got into the car.
Before getting in, Terry pursed his lips towards the back seat, indicating that there was someone else inside.
The car window rolled down, revealing an extraordinarily handsome thee.
Lven Zoey, who had seen many big scenes, couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. She had indeed never seen such a good- looking man.
With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his piercing gaze was slightly lowered, exuding a bit of coldness that kept people at distance.
His thin lips were tightly pressed, and his hazel eyes were like top–quality amber, carrying a captivating charm. More striking was a small crimson mole on the bridge of his nose, like a drop of blood, adding a touch of allure.
This must be Jesse’s precious grandson, Henry Phillips, right? Although Jesse was usually not serious, he didn’t lie about the most
handsome face in the world.
Zoey never would have expected that the handsome guy she spent the night with would be right in front of her.
