Chapter 15 Don’t Lie–1
At the last second, a big, burly guy suddenly jumped out. Henry felt he wind whip past his ear and instinctively ducked.
In doing so, he missed seeing Dr. K’s face.
The guy was almost 67“, built like a tank, and stood in front of Zoey like a human shield. “Boss, you go first.”
Zoey gave him a quick look and then vanished down the hallway.
Henry frowned and tried to follow, but Roy Murphy blocked his path. Thinking about how this guy was mixed up with his boss, Henry’s eyes turned cold.

you wanna fight, Tm game.” And I with L
that, he lunged at Henry.
While they were duking it out, Zoey had already slipped backstage to change her clothes.
As for the mask… What a shame, she only wore it once, and now Joshua would have to get a new one.
Reporters mobbed the entrance t
to the press conference, clamoring to find Dr. K and causing a near traffic jam. Little did they know,
the person they were hunting was standing nearby, feeling pretty relieved.
Thank goodness her cover wa
wasn’t blown. This kind of attention was just too much.
The car pulled up, and just as she reached for the door, a hand grabbed her shoulder from behind, long fingers and all.
It was Henry. “What are you doing here?”
Zory shot back, “Can’t I be here?:
Henry wasn’t even looking at her, he was scanning the area. “Have you seen Dr. K? All in white, hair………“
He glanced at Zoey, his eyes narrowing, “Just like yours.”
Zoey
y scratched her cheek. “Nope, don’t know Dr. K. Even if she bumped into me, I wouldn’t recognize her.”
“Don’t lie,” Henry studied her. Her figure was similar to Dr. K’s, including the bright golden hair.
She also had an invite and knew about Dr. K’s deal with Universal Group. Everything pointed to one thing.
“You know Dr. K, or you’re here to help her hide. In return, she gave you the invite and told you about the deal.” Henry tried to keep his frustration in check. Tell me, where did Dr. K go?”
Zoey didn’t
expect him to jump to that conclusion. But thinking about it, it kinda made sense.
“Why are you looking for her?”
“I’ve got something important.” At first, it was because Dr. K and Zoey had similar figures and the deal, but during their encounter, there was some physical contact, and he found she felt a lot like the person from that night.
The same soft skin, the slender waist–the familiar feeling was hard to ignore.
He grabbed Zoey’s wrist, his tone urgent. “Tell me, where did Dr. K ge? I have something very important to tell her.”

“Very important?”
“It’s about my whole future happiness. Think that’s important?”
Zoey was taken aback. How did she not know she had anything to do with his future happiness?
Feigning a smile, she pulled her hand back and put on an apologetic face. “I’m really sorry. I was invited to help Dr. K hide, but I haven’t seen her either. I can’t help you. Maybe you can send someone to look for her now. You might get lucky.”
Henry’s eyes scanned the busy street, but he knew with the doctor’s skills, finding her now was a long shot.
Zoey suddenly looked behind him–it was Roy.
She shook her head slightly. The tall figure paused and then walked way.
Henry, sensing something, turned but saw no one suspicious. Finally, he rubbed his forehead in frustration and sighed. “Forget it, let’s s
Where?”
“Grandpa said to take you home for dinner after the press conference and introduce you to someone.”
Zoey asked, “Who?”
Henry’s face got all weird for a second. “You’ll find out when we get there.”
His reaction made Zoey curious. Whoever could make him look like that had to be interesting, and she started looking forward to meeting this person.

Just as they were about to hop in the car, Timothy came out of nowhere and grabbed Zoey. “Where do you think you’re going? We still need to talk about you trading sex for that invitation!”
“Trading sex?” Benjamin, who had rushed over, was shocked. The invitation was obtained through trading sex? He clutched his chest, struggling to breathe.
Henry also frowned at Zoey, but seeing her calm expression, he hesitated and looked at Timothy, “You better be sure about what you’re saying. Don’t spread rumors.”
Timothy shot back, “Mr. Phillips, you have no idea. My daughter has real problem, especially with men. She’s slept with countless people! It’s a family disgrace. I didn’t want to make it public, but I can’t let this wicked girl deceive you.”
Timothy had noticed the chemistry between Henry and Zoey. Such a high–quality single man, it didn’t matter how Zoey knew Henry, but he couldn’t let her deceive him. Otherwise, once exposed, it would definitely implicate the King Family.
Timothy didn’t care about anything else and tried to drag Zoey away “You’re coming back with me. I must discipline you today!”
Zoey didn’t budge, lightly raising her hand. A huge force hit Timothy, making him stagger back and almost fall.
Zoey said coldly, “Be responsible for your words. You say I traded sex for the invitation. Is your mind only filled with such things?”
Timothy’s face
are turned red. “You re still arguing! I saw it with my own eyes. Otherwise, tell me, where did the invitation come from?
Benjamin almost fainted. “Miss King, did you really…” He had even kissed that invitation. Ugh!
“I gave it to her!” An elderly voice rang out urgently. It was the old professor who had spoken with Zoey backstage, so anxious that he almost lost his shop.
“I gave her the invitation. Zoey is an outstanding child. I wanted to take her as my… apprentice!” He corrected himself under Zoey’s warning gaze. “The press conference needed help, so I asked Zoey. Other professors know too. Mr. King, do you want me to bring them all here to explain to you?“
Timothy didn’t have the status to make the high–and–mighty professors explain to him.
“I, you… she…” he stammered for a long time but couldn’t form a sentence.
The old professor snorted. “Stop talking nonsense. I don’t know why you always look down on Zoey. She’s an amazing kid. As her dad, you shouldn’t talk about her like that.”
Timothy’s face turned red with shame. But Zoey knew he didn’t really realize his mistake because his eyes were st
still Glled with anger when he looked at her. It was quite boring.
Zoey said calmly. “Professor, I have something to do. I’ll leave this to you.”
“Alright, you go rest. The old professor, who had been stern with Timothy, became kind and looked at Zoey as if she were his own child.
On the way back, Benjamin was
is still in a daze. “Zoey, how do you knew the old professor?”
Those professors were always high and mighty, especially towards businessmen like them, whom they considered full of the stench of money and always treated with indifference.
Today was the first time he saw such an expression. It was like the professor was possessed.

Zoey ignored him, resting her chin on her hand, replying to Roy’s message. Roy had been left abroad to complete a task. This time, he returned with the task successfully completed. She was pondering how to reward him.
The car stopped at the Phillips door, but the usually quiet villa was ustling with activity.
The three walked in and were immediately stunned by the scene inside.
