Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 203 Saving Emmen
Upon hearing this, Joey immediately furrowed her brows."What's going on?"In a hushed tone, Selena explained, "I was invited by Yvette to meet someone today, only to find out it's a TV program host. They roasted me on the program. Check the trending topics."Joey nodded, opening Twitter.She quickly spotted the sixth trending topic."Selena denies being Chloe. The most scandalous event of the year is here!"Clicking into the trending topic, Joey's expression soured even more after watching the video.Joey couldn't understand Yvette's actions. Emmen had put so much effort into designing her gown for the red carpet.But now, Yvette was teaming up with the production team to bring down Emmen. It just didn't make sense."Why is Yvette targeting us?" Joey asked, her voice laced with anger."I don't know. To keep suspicions off Emmen, I had to admit I'm not Chloe."Joey, I'm really sorry. I can't keep it hidden anymore," Selena spoke with a tone of regret."It's okay … I'll figu
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 204 I Am Chloe
As the guests looked confused for a moment, their attention shifted with the host's gaze toward the entrance.Joey adjusted her gown and gracefully entered in high heels.Stepping into the spotlight, the host coordinated by Henry approached her with a microphone. Meanwhile, the rest of the program team began murmuring among themselves.Locking eyes with a wide-eyed Selena, Joey gave her a slight smile before heading toward the center of the stage."Hello, everyone! I'm Joey—you might know me as Ms. Linton. I'm also the designer behind Emmen, and my name is Chloe."Despite Joey's introduction, Yvette's face remained unimpressed. The program hosts quickly clapped to welcome Joey.However, Joey's revelation didn't gain approval from netizens."Why would she pretend to be an assistant if she's a designer? Is she just screwing around with everyone? Emmen is hands down the most irritating design studio this year!""Is this all just for a cheap publicity stunt? Seriously, toying with
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 205 What A Couple
Selena almost prostrated and worshiped Joey like a goddess. "You're so good at this!"But Joey let go of Selena's hands and gave her a stern look."We have a bad rep on the internet now, so let's take ourselves offline for the moment. We'll see what it's like after Yvette's red carpet-show."Selena listened to Joey's advice and nodded. "Okay.""It's nobody's fault. Emmem is getting more and more popular so this is bound to happen," consoled Joey when she saw that Selena was upset. Selena grumbled in response."Henry will handle the rest. We now should go to the hotel we booked. I'll get changed and we'll travel a bit," said Joey with a smile as she put her arm around Selena's shoulders.What happened had happened. There was no point dwelling on it."Anyway, is this your first time in Imperia?" Selena turned to look at Joey and asked in a cheery tone.As if they could read each other's minds, the two best friends dropped their current topic and changed to another one.But Joey
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 206 Demolish The Restaurant
After a brief introduction, Elise clung to Selena's arms and complimented, "I like your hair color.""You can dye your hair the same color too," answered Selena with a smile. Just like that, Elise and Selena became friends.Elise then brought Selena and Joey to a private cabin. When Joey saw Kenneth and Hanson inside, she frowned."Ah, Joey. Forgive me. I got carried away when I saw you just now, and I forgot to tell you that I was dining with Kenneth and Hanson," said Elise apologetically.Selena wasn't surprised to see Kenneth, but her eyes widened when she saw Hanson."Good evening, Ms. Linton." Kenneth stood up and greeted Joey warmly. Hanson followed suit and pulled out two chairs for Joey and Selena.At this point, it would be impolite to walk away. Being an adult meant that you had to have dinner with someone you didn't like, no matter how much you detested them."Good evening. What a coincidence," said Joey as she entered the cabin."Yeah," agreed Kenneth. He looked as
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 207 I Thought You Were In Danger
A phone call interrupted the pleasant conversation between Elise and Selena.When Elise saw that it was from the manager, she turned to Selena. "Let me grab this real quick."Elise left the cabin and picked up the call grouchily. "I asked you to stop Zachary from coming in. Do you have to call me while I am eating?"After the manager relayed what Zachary said, Elise hollered, "What? He wants to tear this place down? Go ahead then."If he does this, we'll pay for your damages. Don't worry."Who the heck does he think he is? Ask him to go ahead."Joey overheard Elise's outburst. She took a quick glance at the cabin door and asked Kenneth, "Is Elise alright? Who's tearing the place down?"Kenneth was confused. "I have no idea. Why don't you talk to her?"Hanson had maintained a silent presence during the meal. He didn't mention Joey's past, as if he were here for nourishment and nothing else.However, Selena knew there was more to it—Kenneth had been very supportive of Joey's bus
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 208 Mystery
Zachary asked Henry to send Selena back to the hotel. Then, he went on a stroll with Joey."Why did you come here?" Joey asked, disgruntled.Zachary frowned and was upset by Joey's question. "Why do you think I'm here?""If you're here because I lied about my secret identity, don't even bother."Joey didn't want to talk about it. In fact, she had been going around exploring Imperia today because she didn't want to think about the fact that her other identity was exposed.She didn't want to be confronted by Zachary."It's not that. Like I said, I was worried about you," stated Zachary.Joey was surprised. She stared into Zachary's eyes. "It sounds like you already knew that I am Chloe.""Not everyone is interested in your identity, Joey. One thing cannot be changed—you're my wife." Zachary sure was well-versed in the art of flirting."Was this how you flirted with Julia?" Joey rebuked."Joey, are you allergic to my words or something?" Zachary grabbed Joey's cheek and question
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 209 Leaving Zachary Behind
Zachary considered it before saying, "I do not have the answer to that. If Joey was one of the Fulhams, that would explain why the Fulhams are helping Kenneth."Can you check the history between the Fulhams and the Yates? I want as many details as possible."If the Fulhams were looking for a lost family member, why turn to Kenneth for help? There must be another reason why Kenneth coddled Joey.…The next day, Joey was planning to visit Imperia before heading to Riviera. Her plan was intercepted by a call from Monica in the morning."Where are you?" Monica asked curtly.Joey immediately answered, "I'm working in Imperia—""Can you come back today? I want to speak with you." Monica's tone softened all of a sudden, which made Joey wonder if Monica somehow knew that she met with Hanson."Sure." Not one to make her grandmother worried, Joey said yes.After she hung up, Joey relayed her decision to Selena and made a beeline for the airport.Zachary, who woke up half an hour later,
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 210 Demanding A Divorce
Seeing that Monica was insulted, Joey came to her defense. "Grandma never takes this matter lightly. Can we be civilized?"Rose decided to drop the pleasantries. "Civilized? You're just trying to waste my time here."I know you're looking for a house. You're using money from my family to buy your grandmother another house. You two are leeching off Zachary."Joey said, "I admit that selling Zachary's gift is my fault. It has nothing to do with Grandma. I'll pay you back the money, so stop calling us leeches."Joey could proudly say that she never coveted Zachary's wealth. While she did sell Zachary's gift for money, the sum was nothing compared to the lavish gifts Zachary gave Julia.But saying that out loud would be mortifying. The husband gave more money to his mistress than his wife. Who would want to admit that?Rose unleashed her vitriol before Joey and Monica. "Was I wrong, then? It's been three years, and you never gave us a child."I'm not supposed to be generous toward f

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
