Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 147 Here Comes Another Problem
Joey thought he was too greasy. Moreover, he criticized people behind their backs, akin to backstabbing one's friends. "No, thanks. I think I'm perfectly healthy," Joey politely declined. Upon hearing that, Andrew could only leave with his boxed meal in hand. Joey originally thought it was a minor incident. To her surprise, after finishing shooting in the afternoon, Zachary called. Joey pressed the answer button, and she immediately heard him ask with dissatisfaction, "What's going on between you and the male actor?" "What's wrong again?" Joey asked. Unexpectedly, as the words left her mouth, Samuel's voice came from behind. "Jojo, look at me." As Joey turned around, she saw Samuel coming toward her with Professor Watson.Before Zachary could say anything, Joey said, "I have something to attend to. I'll call you back after I'm done." Having said that, she promptly ended the call without allowing Zachary a chance to refuse. "Professor Watson, why are you here?" Joey
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 148 Put In Effort
Joey turned to look at him. She was surprised but quickly composed herself. "What are you doing here?" Zachary walked straight into the private room, stood beside her, and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Of course, I'm here to help you solve your problems."Professor Watson, who was sitting beside Samuel, proactively stood up. "You young people should sit together and sort out all the messy things happening online." Cinna was aware of the online situation, but even he had no solution for such matters. Zachary sat beside Joey. He gave Samuel a faint glance before saying, "Your production team may be small, but rumors are spreading fast. Is a mere assistant worthy of such targeting from your actress?" "Well, it's hard to say without evidence ..." Cinna remarked. Zachary coldly interrupted Cinna."By the time you come up with a solution, it'll be too late. We've all been in the entertainment industry, yet you don't even know when to handle a PR crisis?" Joey gave his

Samuel raised his head and looked at Zachary. "Can this be traced? People in the entertainment industry handle things very discreetly. After all, if things go south, their careers are ruined." He had considered this method, but when he asked industry insiders, they told him that if it was Yolanda's doing, it must be Yolanda's company behind the scenes pushing it. He then continued, "With a big corporation involved, they surely won't leave any evidence. Furthermore, they would have arranged for a scapegoat to ensure that both themselves and Yolanda come out completely clean.""We just need to confirm that Jojo didn't pay to market herself on trending topics." Facing Samuel, Zachary's tone turned less friendly. Samuel nodded, lowered his gaze, and continued playing with his phone. Zachary reassured Joey, "Leave it to me. I'll take care of those problems for you. Just focus on your tasks in the production team." Joey felt a mix of emotions. If he had this realization earlier,
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 150 Conflict Erupted
Samuel looked at Joey and suddenly felt like it was the first time he was getting to know her. After a moment, he smiled. "You are ... that Joey who challenged Mr. Gray in the program team. Come, let's talk in my place." Samuel had a separate room, so it was relatively safer to discuss things. After Joey entered the room, her gaze was indifferent. "I have something in my hands, which is enough to make Yolanda leave the production team. Initially, I was still figuring out what to do. You bringing Professor Watson here gave me a direction." After saying that, she took out her phone and opened an audio recording. As Samuel listened to the recording where Yolanda complained loudly about costumes and makeup, his face immediately turned grim. For a historical series, the authenticity of costumes and makeup should adhere to the existing historical documents and murals. Yolanda's discontent with these aspects indicated her dissatisfaction with the core message of the series. If
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 151 Joey’s Counterattack
Hailey quickly stepped forward and pulled Yolanda aside. She then explained to everyone, "She struggled with her lines last night and didn't get a good night's sleep, so her temper is a bit off." As soon as she finished speaking, Yolanda let out a scream, causing everyone to quiet down. "I want to change my makeup! Mr. Monterey, can you do it or not? Just because of this makeup, I've been unable to eat or drink well since joining the production!" Yolanda's eyes turned red as she cried out with a face full of grievances. Just then, Kenneth suddenly stood up. He violently smashed the bottle in his hand to the ground. "If you can't act, then get lost! You don't even understand the professional ethics of an actress, yet you dare to join a historical drama production team. If you just want to look good, don't claim to be an actress. Just enjoy being a celebrity!"Everyone had been putting up with her for days. Kenneth, the good-looking one, had been polite to everyone these days.
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 152 Taking Care of the Place for Half a Year
Even before Yolanda left the production, a new actress came for an audition. Eventually, they settled on a relatively unknown but highly recognizable actress. It was said that they didn't spend much, and the total remuneration was less than 500 thousand dollars. The actress had well-proportioned facial features, unlike Yolanda, who required an exceptionally skilled makeup artist to enhance her appearance and achieve a stunning effect. She fully complied with Joey's styling, and Professor Watson even gave her a stack of historical materials. Cinna granted her a week to familiarize herself with the script and those materials. Joey walked out of her makeup room and stood by the door watching her read the script. She couldn't help but think that this new actress was not very old, but she was very dedicated.Thus, she would shine in the future. Joey then went to Kenneth's makeup room.Kenneth played the handsome man, and every detail needed to be meticulously done to bring out the
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 153 Utterly Disappointed
Joey found it hard to believe what he said. Given his influence, a casual inquiry on Twitter could attract countless down jacket manufacturers willing to send him one. "Sure, but even in three days, it's not enough time," Joey responded. "We'll be away for quite some time. November is the season when they've just experienced heavy snow there. I can still wear some other down jackets for a while. Is half a month sufficient?" Kenneth asked in a friendly manner. Joey nodded. "I can have three ready for you in half a month." "Alright. Is Chloe designing them herself?" Kenneth asked. His tone carried a hint of excitement. However, Joey didn't notice it. She hesitated a bit and said, "Chloe's personally designed ones have a separate cost, and there's only one at most." "One is fine," Kenneth immediately replied. "Great. No problem. Half a month then," Joey promptly agreed. She wanted to make money after all. Chloe's design draft started at ten thousand dollars. Joey prete
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 154 Immediate Divorce
Rose displeased, busied herself in the kitchen, and Joey got up to help. Afraid that they might argue in the kitchen, Zachary also planned to join them. However, Harold said, "They need to talk about what happened between them. You Grandma, with her personality, keeping it all bottled up isn't good.""Yeah …" Zachary could only sit back down. Rose closed the door in the kitchen before speaking."Wash the vegetables. If you don't know how to cook, I'll teach you."Joey walked to the sink and slowly started washing the vegetables. Rose, watching her sluggishly working, felt a bit dissatisfied. "At this rate, when will we have dinner?""You can help," Joey said casually. "I'm just slow at washing vegetables.""You've grown bold, daring to go against me. Do you think you've grown wings just because you have a job? Let me tell you, unless you quit your job, you'll end up divorcing Zachary!" Rose said as she went to the fridge to get ingredients.Joey chuckled coldly, paying her

Joey shot him a cold glance. "You and he are both the same, so neither of you should be laughing at the other."Zachary nodded. "You're right, but I've turned over a new leaf now.""Let's go. Enough about him," Joey said. She was annoyed whenever Henry was brought up.He had a great girl willing to be with him, yet he was still unhappy. Any other man would have been grinning from ear to ear.They arrived at the restaurant, and while Joey ordered the food, Zachary sent a message to Henry."You should think about this. Joey and Grandma just want you to have someone by your side in the future, which is why they're saying these things."Don't give up on her just because of what her parents said. Having someone who genuinely likes you is rare."From Zachary's perspective, Henry had a pretty good start. Tessa didn't mind his circumstances, so what was he dissatisfied with?Henry quickly replied, "I know. I'll think about it carefully."In truth, Henry found it all a bit troublesome.
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 576 Not Blinded by Love
Henry was immediately startled and started stammering, "O-Okay."As soon as Joey hung up the phone, she turned to see Tessa, who was crying pitifully, and handed her a tissue.Tessa took the tissue and sobbed without saying a word.Monica had prepared some desserts for her and looked at her with compassion. "Henry has never been in love before. Plus, he's straightforward and doesn't know how to talk properly. There's no need to cry."Joey thought that Henry just didn't love Tessa enough. Otherwise, how could he say such things?Tessa's eyes were swollen and red. Her tears continuously streamed down. "I know he doesn't like me. Maybe he just agreed to the relationship because I pursued him."Joey patted her shoulder. "In love, if one person is too proactive, the other will seem passive. The fact that you dared to love already makes you braver than many.""What's the point? He doesn't care about me at all." Tessa sniffled."Here, eat something," Monica said. "Feelings like love d
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 575 Committed to You
No one tried to persuade Henry further, but Zachary continued to say to him, "Come with me to choose a location for the security company. It's worth doing."Henry was a bit speechless. "I'm not even pursuing the relationship anymore. Why should I still think about the security company?"Zachary responded, "Do you plan to cling to Joey's coattails your whole life? Once the business is set up, you can have apprentices teach others, and you can become a hands-off boss in a year or two."With that, Zachary headed out.After they left, Monica sighed in disappointment. "And I here I thought Henry had found someone good for him.""I think it's quite normal. Finding a good woman isn't easy," Joey said.Henry was indeed a good person, but with one eye missing and his job as a bodyguard, it was inevitable that Tessa's parents would worry."How disappointing," Monica murmured repeatedly.Joey didn't know what else to say and could only comfort her. "There's still a chance. What if Tessa d
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 574 Second Thoughts
Joey snorted. "You looked down on me and thought I had no opinions back then."Zachary pulled her into his arms. "Joey, do you like the person you are now or the person you were before?""What about you?" Joey asked him."I liked you from the beginning. Do you think I would have pursued you for so long if I didn't? I never thought you were serious about the divorce. At first, I was angry, but now I just think I was too slow to react."Joey was genuinely angry back then, but he had thought she was playing hard to get.The two of them sat close and watched the movie together.Selena hadn't returned yet, so Joey guessed that she wouldn't be coming back."Selena probably won't return. Hanson is cunning by taking her away with just a movie," Joey said.Zachary turned off the projector and was still savoring the moment as Joey left his arms."They're in love. Otherwise, Selena wouldn't go with him so easily," Zachary remarked.Selena must really like Hanson. Otherwise, she wouldn't
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 573 Important Role
Zachary squeezed her hand tightly. "You're just like an exquisite and beautiful flower."Joey couldn't help but laugh. She pulled her hand back with a little force. "Even though we just had a heartfelt conversation, I haven't thought about being your girlfriend.""I get it. You're Chloe, and countless people are lining up to pursue you," Zachary said in a voice tinged with jealousy.If she wasn't so focused on her work, she probably would have found a new boyfriend by now. For example, Kenneth was an excellent person. If Joey had accepted him back then, Zachary thought he wouldn't stand a chance now.When they got back to Emmen, Joey freshened up and got back to work.Zachary couldn't help but say, "Can't you take a break?""I've gotten used to this over the past year. When I can't sleep at night, I'll work. I find it hard to relax now," Joey said while reading a document intently.Without her dedication and hard work, Emmen wouldn't have grown so quickly.Zachary beckoned her
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 572 Cannot Let Go
Zachary felt a heavy weight on his chest as he looked at Joey.She continued, "Even if I accept you again, and we try to rebuild a family, I know things can never go back to the way they were. I gave you my best years, and I don't feel like I owe you anything."During those three years, you ignored my true feelings and neglected me. Do you think it's possible to go back to the past now?"Zachary said, "I'm truly sorry.""I want to fully accept you, but I can't. You all think that the many hurts inflicted on me are something I can just get over, let go of, and move forward from. But I can't."I realize now that people are complicated and hold grudges. I constantly revisit every wrong done to me. If I didn't care, it would mean I don't care about any of you at all."Joey rarely opened up to Zachary like this, but she felt it necessary to make this clear.Zachary watched her silently and felt as though it was his first time knowing what she actually thought."It's like how I don't
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 571 Still Distrustful
Selena readily agreed, "Alright. It's not fair for you to handle everything alone."Her relationship with Hanson was intense and passionate at the beginning, but now that the initial fire had burned out, Selena felt less attached to Hanson. But after dinner, she was still dragged by Hanson to watch a new movie.Joey was exhausted from work and didn't want to move, so she sat at the dining table with Zachary to enjoy the peace."Shall we head back soon?" Zachary asked after a long while.Joey hummed, exhausted. "Let's sit a bit longer.""If you don't want to walk, I can carry you," Zachary said with a smile.Joey snorted. "Do you want Grandma to scold me? Have you even recovered?""Probably not. These wounds don't heal so easily," Zachary admitted honestly. He wanted to please Joey but had forgotten that his health was no longer as robust as before."Let's sit for another half an hour," Joey said as she leaned back in her chair and replied to messages on her phone."You're work
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 570 Marriage Woes
Selena felt that what Joey said made sense and immediately nodded in agreement. "Then I won't consider marriage."Zachary glanced at them and thought that Selena was a bad influence on Joey. Even if they were married, couldn't they still have fun? What was the difference?Around noon, Hanson and Tessa arrived at Emmen together.As soon as Tessa saw Henry, she ran to him and grabbed his arm. "I got out of class early to see you. You're not mad, are you?"Henry was taken aback, but seeing Tessa clinging to him so sweetly filled his heart with joy."Not at all. Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up," Henry said.Tessa held his hand. "Why do you have to pick me up? I know where you work, so I can come to find you."Henry nodded dumbly."Tessa, have you eaten?" Monica stepped forward with a gentle smile."No, but my parents want to invite him to dinner tonight. I've already arranged it with them," Tessa said with a smile.Joey thought this wasn't just a regular dinner
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 569 Enjoying Life
Henry had a smile on his face, looking quite pleased with himself. "Of course, she fell in love with me at first sight."Selena laughed. "Impressive! But your cosplay style probably appeals to most young girls, right?"Henry may have only one eye, but he was still very handsome. He was like a cosplayer you'd see on the street.He simply smiled and picked up his phone to check in with Tessa.After chatting, Henry grinned like a fool. "She asked me out to lunch. She said she doesn't have classes this afternoon and wants to take me to her place."Joey felt a bit envious. "You're incredibly lucky. You need to cherish this."Henry nodded as Monica looked at Henry with a smile."What is your girlfriend studying in grad school?" Selena asked curiously."Something related to Eldelish language studies I think," Henry replied, unsure.Joey nodded. "That sounds good."After finishing his meal, Henry sat nearby, playing on his phone.Selena couldn't help but tell Joey, "Is he just going
