Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 296 Child in the River
Monica remained reticent. She thought that everything was over after she and that old woman reached an agreement, that Yvonne wouldn't harm Joey again. Joey would just spend her life in Eldeville.But the assault on Lawrence made Monica realize how powerless she was.The Fulhams could get away after they reneged on their promise. And if Joey was dead, there'd be no point in publicizing the secret she had been keeping for so long.Her sole wish was that Joey could grow up happily next to her."Zachary, can you promise me you won't tell Joey what I'm about to tell you? I don't want to lose her."I raised her, you know? She has had a tough life, and I want her to be happy." Monica looked at Zachary with tearful eyes.Zachary already knew what was about to happen. "I promise, Monica." He held Monica's hands."Joey was in the river when I found her. She couldn't remember anything because she hit her head somewhere, and she lost part of her memory."But I didn't care. I didn't want h
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 297 Monica's Granddaughter
Selena took a sip of the liquor and began thinking."You're the most important thing to your grandma. Therefore, she couldn't have traveled to Imperia for any other reasons."Who do we know lives in Imperia? The Yates and the Fulhams."Let's rule out the Yates since you don't have any beef with them. Now that leaves us with Yvonne," analyzed Selena.Joey nodded. "Go on.""Ms. Monica is your grandmother. Someone like her can hardly get through the Fulham Estate's front gate," said Selena tactfully."So, you think my grandma was being impulsive?""No. Someone her age knows how to evaluate a situation better than we do. Perhaps Ms. Monica knows something we don't?"I saw the footage. The assailant was targeting you two. He knew who he wanted to kill."Others on the internet agreed with me, too. They said he was there with a clear goal in mind."Joey's cocktail was served. She took a sip and enquired, "What can possibly motivate one to eliminate someone at all costs?""Either mo
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 298 Shunned
Sensing Zachary's gaze, Joey looked at herself and turned away, embarrassed."It doesn't hurt anymore, as long as I don't lift heavy things or bend down.""Do we do it in a room or here?" asked Zachary sternly. His tone suggested that he wouldn't take no for an answer."I'll ask Selena to come and help me. You should go back. Grandma and I are grateful for your help in Imperia, but it's not appropriate to ask you to change my dressing."Zachary looked at Joey and uttered plainly, "Why? Do you think I'll do something to you?""You know I don't mean it that way," answered Joey calmly.Zachary gazed at Joey with his dark, mystified eyes. "I won't do anything to you. I'll go back and rest up once it's done."Joey looked away. "Just go back now. You must be tired after this eventful day. Besides, I have Grandma with me."Then, Joey walked toward her room.Zachary stood up and relented, "Fine. You can seek your own help."It's your body anyway. If you don't love your body, far be i
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 299 Help Has Arrived
Selena was infuriated by the comments. She licked her lips and scoffed."They don't have the full picture. How could they make up those false accusations and frame you?"Seeing that the vitriolic comments were getting out of control, Joey said, "They are paid commentators. They rile people up so that everyone thinks I'm the villain."Joey was sure the Fulhams were silently trying to do her in.Of course, they wouldn't wait for the official report to be released. They wanted to manipulate the consensus so that she would be demonized on all fronts.Selena looked at Joey worriedly."I need to know if the assailant truly has a mental illness or not," said Joey."I'm on it." Selena got up and contacted her friends. But before Selena could come back with an answer, Kenneth tagged the account of the article's publisher."@Capital_Entertainz For a verified account with millions of followers, you sure do not adhere to the integrity of journalism."The innocent victim survived after a f
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 300 We Should End It
Hanson only started investigating yesterday, so he did not have the answer. Besides, he was told that someone was actively impeding the investigation."I don't know," answered Hanson calmly."It's Lawrence of the Howard family in Imperia. He's very close to Zachary."Since he barely survived the stabbing, it's safe to assume that Zachary will focus his fire on your family now." Kenneth's tone was tinged with worry."Lawrence, huh?" Hanson cast his eyes downward.Among the high society in Imperia, that name used to evoke laughter. But now, no one would even dare to mention it, thanks to Zachary."You know what Zachary is like. Without Lawrence's intervention, the one in the operating room could have been Joey."Both of them are equally important to him. Do you think he'll play nice now that the people he holds close are in danger?"If your family doesn't give him an explanation, he'll give you hell."While Kenneth was mad at what the Fulhams did, he knew that Hanson had no part
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 301 Want to Treat You to a Meal
Zachary raised his brow. There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes."I've thought about it from that angle, but I'm more inclined to your first guess." He put down the cup of coffee in his hand.Joey walked over to the other armchair and sat down. Her gaze was calm as she stared at him. "The situation this time involves your friend's life. I have no right to dictate how you handle it. Besides, I'd like to know who has something against me in the Fulham family."Yvonne was one of them, but there was surely someone else backing her."I want to make it clear in advance: I won't sweep the situation involving Lawrence aside."I know you'll thank Kenneth for speaking up for you on Twitter, but I'll take him out together with the Fulhams if he's in league with them."He looked her in the eye. His tone was cold."I know," she replied.Naturally, she was thankful for Kenneth's help. However, she did not know how his relationship with the Fulhams is nowadays.Zachary's friend nearl
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 302 Let's Stop Fighting
Zachary hung up the phone. Disappointment flashed in his eyes.Lawrence saw this and smiled mischievously. He said, "What? You rejected her, yet you're the one who feels dejected? "If you genuinely miss her then return to Eldeville. I can handle it here.""You're lying flat on the bed. You think you can handle it?" Zachary shot him an exasperated glance."I'm the best when lying down because no one can order me around in this state. I can investigate anything you ask." His smile was relaxed.Zachary squeezed his shoulder. "You've done enough. Let me handle the rest."Lawrence was still pale from blood loss.Upon hearing Zachary's words, he said unwittingly, "Don't you find me useless?"Had I been more aware of our surroundings, then none of this would have happened. You even had to come over to the capital to handle this mess."Zachary patted Lawrence's head as if he were his brother."You've done well enough. Or would you only be satisfied with yourself if you died?"Of
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 303 Old News Article
Zachary felt her hesitation and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to say? Just say it, I'll listen."Joey's heart skipped a beat, but she steadied herself and said, "Grandma received a call from the Fulhams and wants you to stop what you're doing."She told him what Monica had said, yet all she got was a sneer."What? They couldn't handle me, so they've resorted to scaring an old woman?"Tell her that it'll be fine. I've already decided on doing this, so I won't stop."Upon hearing his resolute tone, she knew it would be useless to advise him any further. He said he would do as he wanted, and she was unsure how much of what he said was true.However, she would not presume too much and let Zachary make his own decisions."Zachary, Grandma isn't a coward. She was never afraid during her time in Linton Ville unless she was genuinely at a disadvantage." She couldn't help but remind him."Alright, Joey. The fact that both of you still care for me is enough." After he said tha

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
