Chapter 3 Considèr My Grandson

Zoey was only thrown off for a second before she got her cool hack. Behind her, Terry respectfully opened the car door and helped
be in.
Seeing this, the guy in the back seat let out a cold laugh. “Miss King, your entourage is pretty impressive, having Terry serve you. Do you even know who he is?”

driver for the Phillips
Back in the day, Terry was a talent she had relictantly handed over to Jesse.
When they were abroad, Terry was the standout among the first group of people Zoey had trained.
Whether it was combat skills, academics, or financial management, Terry nailed it all, making him the most reliable assistant Zoey
had.
After Jesse gived her from an ambush, she let Terry work under him to show her gratitude. To keep Terry’s identity hidden, he posed as Jesse’s driver.
Terry didn’t let her down. In just three years, he helped the Phillips Family secure a top spot among the Fortune 500 in Novaria, even ranking near the top.
When it came to understanding Terry, Zoey was second to none, not even Jesse.
What was Henry getting at with this sudden question?
Henry sneered, thinking, This foolish woman actually thinks Terry just an ordinary driver? No wonder she’s so arrogant, Terry open the door for her. How presumptuous!
having
*Hope you won’t regret it once you know Terry’s true identity.” With that cold remark, Henry turned his head, his cool brown eyes gazing out the window, not wanting to spare Zoey another glance.
Meeting for the first time and already putting on such airs, how vulgar! Henry thought.
The memory of the woman from that night surfaced in his mind, causing his Adam’s apple to move involuntarily as his fingertips recalled the softness of her skin. Suddenly, a vaguely familiar scent Wafted over. Henry turned his head to look at Zoey.
He had been too focused on his disdain earlier, but now that he took a closer look–Zoey, whom Jesse praised to the skies, seemed to
have a similar figure to the woman from that night?
The thought flashed by, and Henry felt ridiculous. How could he think this power–hungry woman was like her? They were worlds
apart.
However, he wondered if she had found the business card he left before he left.
The stent lingering at his nose, similar to the fragrance from that night, inexplicably stirred a vague restlessness in Henry’s heart.
He closed his eyes and turned his head, seemingly not wanting to look at Zoey anymore.
Zoey didn’t mind being ignored at all. She just stared out the window, lost in her own thoughts as the scenery zipped by.
Half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of this old but super fancy villa. As soon as Zoey stepped out, an elderly man with

Before she could even respond, he grabbed her hand and practically dragged her inside, leaving Henry standing there, feeling a bit
lost.
Henry stayed quiet, thinking, “Who is really Jesse’s biological grandson?”
Inside the villa, Jesse was going all out, showing off the family’s the auction. It makes the best teal And…
Treasures. “Terry! Get my best tea and that fancy tea set from
Zoey, worried he’d empty the whole house, quickly stopped him. “Jess, stop, stop, no need to be so formal, We’re old friends.”
Jesse finally calmed down, holding Zoey’s hand, looking more and more pleased. “It’s been years, and you’ve gotten even more beautiful. 1 remember the first time I saw you abroad, you were so stinny, like a little monkey, I never thought you’d change so much over the years, becoming more and more beautiful!”
Talking about Zoey’s past embarrassing moments, Jesse seemed unstoppable, Zoey quickly interrupted, “Jesse! Those are old stories. Let’s not go there. Why did you call me here today?”
Jesse chuckled and looked at Henry, who had just walked in with a stom face, deliberately clicking his tongue.
“Isn’t it for my older single grandson? Zoey, I’ve watched you grow up. Your family doesn’t appreciate you. And that ungrateful Brian can’t tell the difference between trash and treasure! You deserve better. Why not consider my grandson? Handsome, well–educated, wealthy, and loyal–he’s a rare good man!”
Henry, clearly not thrilled about being promoted, stepped forward quickly, his tone unfriendly. “Grandpa, stop matchmaking?
Jesse rolled his eyes in annoyance. “If you had brought me a granddaughter–in–law and given me a great–grandkid earlier, would I have to worry about your marriage every day? You’re wasting my efforts.” Then he held Zoey’s hand again, full of affection. “Zory is so beautiful and smart. If she agrees to marry you, you’d be lucky!”
Henry sneered and turned to Zoey, his eyes filled with disdain. “Honestly, Miss King and I are totally different; we’re not a good match.”
Hearing this, Zoey raised an eyebrow and looked at him. This guy had quite the ego. But he wasn’t entirely wrong.
Before Zoey could say anything, Jesse, blowing his beard in anger, exclaimed, “Nonsense! Are you going to be as blind as the King Family? Do you know that Zoey is actually…”
Henry thought to himself, ‘It doesn’t matter who it is; my heart already belongs to the woman I spent that passionate night with.”
