Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 274 Do I Know You
In the afternoon, Rose called Zachary and invited him to join her for lunch at a restaurant.Zachary's tall, lean frame made quite an entrance as he walked into the restaurant. A few women were even checking him out.Seemingly oblivious to the attention, Zachary walked over to his grandmother's table with Henry and took a seat. Henry quietly stood behind him.Rose gave Zachary a displeased look. "You brought an assistant to have a meal with me? It's not like we're discussing work.""Alright, let's order since we're here to eat." Zachary smoothly changed the subject, casually picking up the menu.As he turned a page, someone with a delicate floral fragrance settled in the seat beside him. Zachary furrowed his brows, immediately turning his attention to the newcomer.At the dining table sat a lady with long, smooth hair, dressed in a white dress and holding a pearl-studded handbag.When Zachary looked her way, she gave a slight nod and greeted, "Hi, Zac. I'm Carrie Huntington."H
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 275 Disgusted
Being a bit of a gossiper, Melvin couldn't help but keep eyeing Zachary's table.Sensing the situation, Henry quickly moved to a corner and made a phone call. In less than two minutes, the restaurant's few customers were politely asked to leave by the staff.When it came to Joey's table, Henry was uncertain about it. He approached Zachary and asked, "What about Ms. Linton's table?""Just leave it," Zachary replied. Turning away, he gave Rose a cold look."I've had Shane call for an ambulance. Grandma, you shouldn't leave the Gray Estate if you're not feeling well. As a young, able-bodied guy, I can take care of myself."Casting a brief glance at Carrie, he chose silence and began to make his exit. But just from that glance, Carrie felt a sudden stiffness coursing through her entire body."You're still into Joey, aren't you?" Rose suddenly raised her voice, not bothering to keep it down now that there were no more customers around.Joey realized luck wasn't on her side that day.
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 276 Passive
Joey and Melvin decided to switch to another restaurant.After their meal, she drove Melvin to Emmen. On the way, she noticed him consistently staring at her from the passenger seat."What is it?" she asked."Have you … been married to Zachary before?" Melvin cautiously inquired, deducing from Rose's words."Yeah, but we're divorced. Not like it's something I go around announcing anyway," Joey replied casually.Her undertone suggested she hoped Melvin wouldn't share this with others.Observing her indifferent demeanor, Melvin propped his chin and quipped, "Did you divorce him because you didn't like him?""Mr. Fuller, we're not in the business of discussing personal matters." Joey's profile displayed a cool demeanor, her tone gentle yet assertive."Moreover, I prefer to keep private affairs separate from our professional interactions.""Ms. Linton, you're taking things too seriously," Melvin complained.Observing his lack of seriousness, Joey also adopted a more casual tone,
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 277 Monica's Secret
Melvin's first impression of Joey was that she was stunning. Yet, she appeared a bit reserved, making it seem challenging to approach her.People often labeled individuals with such demeanor as "stand-offish".However, as time went on, Melvin came to understand that Joey wasn't actually standoffish. Her demeanor was just a part of her natural charm.After parting ways, Joey drove back home. Getting back early today, she was surprised to find Monica wasn't around.Worried about Monica, Joey pulled out her phone to give her a call. After what felt like ages, Monica finally picked up."Hi, Grandma, where are you? I finished work early and thought I could come pick you up," Joey said as soon as the call connected."No need, no need. I'm just hanging out at a friend's place in the neighborhood, watching TV. I'll be back in a bit," Monica promptly declined.Hearing that her grandma had made some new friends, Joey's face immediately lit up with a smile."That's awesome! Have a great t
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 278 Pathetic Coward
Joey came home with a lot on her mind. Turning the key, she pushed the door open and glanced into the living room.Her face immediately turned cold upon seeing the person sitting there."Who gave you the right to come into my house?" Joey snapped at Caleb.Monica rushed out of the kitchen. She first looked at Caleb, who was smiling politely, then back at Joey and asked in confusion, "What's going on?""Grandma, when I'm not at home, you shouldn't be letting strangers in!" Joey moved closer, standing protectively beside Monica."How could you assume I don't know her, Ms. Linton? And hey, your grandma's a grown-up. You can't stop her from making friends," Caleb said, smiling and ignoring Joey's anger."Mr. Lockwood, if you don't leave right now, don't cry when I throw you out myself!"Joey was direct, her tone so cold that even Monica was surprised. After all, it was the first time she'd seen Joey, usually warm and welcoming, so visibly on edge."I know Mr. Lockwood. He lives aro

Monica placed the dishes on the dining table."I'm not one to be easily duped. Let me tell you, in my prime, I was Linton Ville's reigning queen bee—married the most dashing man in town, your grandpa. "Ask anyone in Linton Ville, and they'll confirm I've sailed through the years without ever being fooled," she grumbled.Monica's words successfully elicited a laugh from Joey. She couldn't help but picture Monica, armed with a broom, chasing down troublemakers all over the small town.Nevertheless, amidst the laughter, Joey couldn't ignore the stark reality—Monica, now an elderly woman, struggled even to catch a taxi in the city."City life is different from the village. In the village, everyone knows each other well. But in the city, you never really know people's true colors." Joey offered a gentle reminder to Monica."Got it, Jojo. What's this guy pushing you to do? Is work getting seriously tough?" Monica looked at Joey. Her gaze was cloudy yet brimming with genuine concern.

Joey's recent Twitter post was a brilliant move.Yvonne had been nasty to her before. But with that post, Joey skillfully used it to turn the tables, relying on netizens to thoroughly mock Yvonne and tarnish her reputation.Joey was feeling elated after scrolling through Twitter.While Joey successfully used the current online momentum against Yvonne, she needed to be cautious with her future interactions on the internet.After all, the internet was a double-edged sword. Mishandling it could backfire on her.The following day in Emmen, Selena informed Joey that Keep Jewelry's legal team was waiting for her in the office.…The Fulham Estate in Imperia stood in silent grandeur.Totally oblivious to the Twitter storm Joey kicked up the night before, Yvonne turned over in bed and collided with something soft and warm.Startled, Yvonne abruptly opened her eyes.A blood-curdling scream pierced the silence, resonating from the Fulham Estate's second-floor bedroom.Hanson, engrosse
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 281 Secrets
Remaining seated in her office, Joey listened to Keep Jewelry's lawyer in silence."Look, Ms. Linton, in business, integrity matters even when deals go awry. Broadcasting such matters online is too extreme. It tarnishes his reputation, and you may face severe consequences."Plus, he visited your home and vanished—can you really deny any involvement?" the lawyer reiterated."Chloe already stated her lawyer will handle this. Arguing now won't alter that," Stacy coldly responded.Unfazed by Stacy's remark, the lawyer pressed on, "Ms. Linton, Mr. Caleb's disappearance seems to conveniently align with your Twitter posts. Was this all part of your plan?"Maintaining her composure, Joey gracefully lifted her teacup, took a sip, and even let out a yawn.Knowing how tricky Keep could be, she knew better than to engage with the opposing lawyer. This was to avoid potential traps that might cost her significant compensation to Keep.Seeing her persistent silence, the lawyer sighed and rubbe

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
