Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 265 An Innocent Victim
The weather in July became increasingly hot.What annoyed Joey was that the design she had just completed for Kenneth's grandmother was canceled by the Yates family.Of course, they also proudly did not request for the 20 percent deposit that they had paid in advance.Joey's assistant, Stacy Hinton, grumbled for about ten minutes. "Why didn't they inform us in advance?"They wasted our time! Do they think designing is something that can be done so easily?""You've got me all fired up. Go get some ice cream; let's eat together to cool down," Joey said.Although she appeared calm, she was a bit annoyed inside.She knew it must be Kenneth's actions that angered the people in the Yates family, so they decided to take it out on her.Perhaps canceling the design was just an appetizer, and they had yet to play a bigger move.Kenneth's confession had turned into a problem for her.Stacy's face was red as she went to fetch the ice cream.As she removed the packaging, she fumed, "The
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 266 One Step Ahead
Joey, of course, couldn't refuse her professor. With her identity now public, she had to be cautious with her every word and action. Especially in front of the professor and at school, she had to be humble."Which day next week? I need to schedule my time," Joey asked, looking into Samuel's eyes."It's on Tuesday, a workday, but it's at 6:00 pm. I told them you're busy."But the professor said two hours of socializing would be enough; it won't take much of your time," Samuel said gently, still as considerate as ever."Alright, just send me the gathering venue's address when it's time." Joey nodded."Sure." Samuel stood up. He looked at Joey, wanting to say something but hesitating.Joey pretended not to notice that. She was starting to feel a bit fed up. Dealing with both Kenneth and Samuel felt like a lot of effort."Please remember to convey my regards to the professor, Samuel. It's getting late, and I have things to take care of, so I won't keep you company."By the way, t
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 267 Far From a Playful Act
Joey was hesitant to ask Zachary. After a moment of indecision, she decided to send a message to Kent."Did Mr. Gray uncover any useful information?"She took a deep breath after sending the message. After that, holding her phone, she waited patiently. Despite just sending the message, her palms were already sweating. In less than a minute, Kent replied to her message."Ms. Linton, I don't understand what you mean. Has Mr. Gray done something?"Joey didn't foresee Kent's response. She pursed her lips and typed slowly."Oh, I was talking about some matters online. You can go check it out."Kent always kept an eye on the Internet, so it was impossible for him not to know what was happening online. His intention was for Joey to reach out to Zachary directly."Alright, Ms. Linton. But if you're really in a hurry, you can ask Zachary directly. After all, if it involves the both of you, he'll surely tell you."After responding to Kent's message, Joey didn't immediately look for Zac
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 268 Intimidation
Monica's face settled into a calm demeanor as she sat at the dining table. A hint of concern flickered in her eyes."Why did the Yates family get involved in your work all of a sudden? Could it be linked to the Fulham family's daughter's return?" It slipped out of her mouth unintentionally. Joey looked at her with a bewildered expression. "What does it have to do with the Fulham family's daughter? It's because of some issues between Kenneth and me that got blown up online."In short, it's complicated. Anyway, the Yates family doesn't like me now." "What's so complicated? Why would they suddenly dislike you for no reason? Explain it clearly!"Although I don't meddle in your affairs, I can't just sit by and watch you being bullied."Monica was instantly enraged. She adopted her younger self's commanding presence, with hands placed firmly on her hips. Her expression was fierce, and her gaze was intense. "Grandma, don't get mad. Watch your blood pressure."Long story short, Kenn
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 269 The Stolen Design Drafts
Seeing Joey so angry, Stacy quickly entered the room.She glanced at Caleb, who was smirking, and immediately put on a cold expression. She said, "Please follow me out!"Caleb set down his coffee and slowly stood up. He looked at Joey with a disdainful gaze and stated, "I know you have Mr. Gray and Eastwell Entertainment backing you up."However, Eastwell is keeping an eye on the Yates family for you. As for Zachary, he hasn't settled matters with the Fisher family, so how does he have time to deal with you?"Joey turned her head. Her gaze was like a knife, glaring fiercely at Caleb.He continued, "Taking this surveillance footage to accuse me won't work. Do you really think Emmen is all squeaky clean?"Think about it carefully. If you sell those pearls, Emmen gains a friend in me, and it keeps the heiress from Imperia happy. If you don't sell them, Emmen might struggle to survive." Following his words, he arrogantly left with his chin held high, disregarding Stacy's fury. Af
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 270 Kent's Scandal
Henry rushed to Zachary's office.Upon opening the door, he promptly reported, "Something has happened to Emmen. The police are at their studio now."Zachary abruptly stood up."What happened?" He had to hold back the urge to go to Emmen immediately and check the situation. "They say there's a mole in the studio who used a virus to steal all the design drafts from Mrs. Gray's computer. The studio has already reported it, and the police are currently gathering evidence."Kent is also facing a scandal, and Eastwell's focus is on that now. I've looked into it, and it's a solid hit," Henry said with a serious expression.Zachary held onto the desk. A hint of cold determination flashed in his eyes. "With so many things happening at once, I don't think it's a coincidence."Henry looked at him, waiting for his instructions. "Now that Eastwell is entangled in this mess, I guess it will soon be my turn. This is interesting," Zachary said as he smiled, but the coldness in his smile sen
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 271 Despise Zachary
"Looks like we've got a formidable opponent. Let's discuss this further tonight. I'll come pick you up," Kent said and abruptly ended the call.He needed to inform Zachary about the situation as soon as possible.Joey intended to share more with him, but with the call ended, she lost the motivation to call back. She thought it would be better for Kent to talk to Zachary about it.It seemed inevitable that she would have to meet with Zachary soon.…Later that evening, Selena returned. Joey was at home helping Monica prepare dinner. Upon arrival, Selena immediately went into the room with Joey.Monica discreetly followed and leaned against Joey's bedroom door to eavesdrop on their conversation.Selena was already informed about Emmen's crisis. Her fatigued expression revealed the exhaustion of rushing back from afar. "Take a rest first. We'll go out after dinner."There are too many people involved in this matter. Even with our discussion, we can't figure out much," Joey sai
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 272 Bitterness
Joey leaned against the couch. She pursed her lips and said, "I bought a good batch of sea pearls from Mr. Fuller."Today, a jeweler mentioned that an Imperia heiress wants to purchase those sea pearls from me to make jewelry for a family reunion banquet."Yvonne approached me earlier about ordering a dress to wear at a family reunion banquet as well. If my guess is correct, she must be this heiress."Zachary looked at her with a cold and stern gaze. "You didn't disclose the sea pearls acquisition to anyone, yet she somehow found out. Looks like she's quite resourceful." "She even transferred 438 thousand dollars to us! I immediately felt there was something off. This woman is truly something." Selena's breathing became irregular."Her malice toward Ms. Linton is just too much. But what did Ms. Linton do to deserve such hatred?"How could she be doing so many disgusting things, both overtly and covertly?" Kent couldn't help but clench his fists. In Joey's opinion, Yvonne's cle

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
