Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 381 No Expectations
The really heartbreaking thing was how Paul dealt with Gwen—he basically just kicked her out of the set."Either you start recording right now or just get lost. Take your bunch of students with you as you scram."Whatever needs compensating, you better pay up. And I mean each and every one of you!" Paul said with a lot of arrogance.Joey initially planned to leave, but Paul's words left them with no choice.Kenneth was pissed. Joey had to grab and hold him back.Maurine and Gwen weren't exactly well-off. They were basically surviving on their talents.Not getting anything from the show and having to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars was just too much for them."Look, I'm in control here! Do you even know how massive Show TV's audience is? The last one standing doesn't just rake in cash overnight but will also score hundreds of thousands of fans."You'll instantly become an influencer. Just a casual chat with your fans will pull in thousands of dollars each month."So,
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 382 Entrance F*e
Gwen chose to leave the set after waking up. Joey's group was now down to just two members. Despite Group C having five members, Paul didn't assign any new members to Joey's group.Since Gwen dropped out of the competition, the treasure chest changed its location again.After taking a break for the whole morning, everyone was recharged and ready to roll in the afternoon.This boost in energy was fueled by Paul's acknowledgment of the current era.Amassing hundreds of thousands of fans by going on this show could translate into earning a living by casually interacting with them as an influencer.In a time when making money by chatting with people was an option, who would willingly put in the effort for hard work?In the afternoon, Group C effortlessly uncovered the treasure chest.Meanwhile, as the group with the fewest members, Joey and Maurine would face the ultimate penalty.The recording for this penalty was scheduled to begin tomorrow, and the big question lingered—what k
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 383 Messed Up
Joey returned to the hotel and took a look at Gwen's design pieces. Her color choices were impressive, but her creativity was a bit lacking.Putting down Gwen's files, Joey reached out to Cyrus."Mind helping me out with something? I need you to look into someone."As a local in Imperia, Joey thought Cyrus should be able to check Gwen and Maurine's backgrounds for her."Sure. Who is it, and what exactly do you want me to find?""There are two students I'm working with—Maurine and Gwen. They're thinking of working at Emmen after graduation. I need you to check their backgrounds thoroughly."Joey was keen on mentoring them. So, it was crucial their backgrounds were clean to avoid any issues, especially after the previous design theft incident.Additionally, she aimed to provide them with an opportunity, which was also a part of her plan against Paul."No problem."After Cyrus replied, Joey couldn't resist throwing in another question."Since you've managed to get so much footag
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 384 Lovestruck
Kenneth shook his head. "I didn't find out much. But I heard that some students actually paid money to get on this show."Joey initially thought it was Kenneth who convinced Paul to change his mind, but it wasn't. Now, she pretty much figured out who it was."Yeah, Maurine and Gwen both threw down 200 thousand dollars." Joey nodded."Ash ended up in Group C. My guess is he probably paid even more," Kenneth speculated."Maybe." Joey's main concern now was what penalty Paul had in store for her the next day.He clearly wanted to teach her a lesson, and if that day didn't work, there was always the day after that.Kenneth noticed Joey wasn't in the mood for these discussions."Joey," Kenneth called out, sounding a bit sheepish.Joey was on her way back to her room to rest. Noticing the change in his tone, she turned to him and asked, "What is it?""Grandma wants to meet you. She's always been feeling pretty guilty about the birthday gown."When she heard you're in Imperia for th
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 385 Broken Arm
During the meal, Joey noticed that Eleanor had been staring at her, the intensity of which made her squirm in her seat."Did you design the dress yourself?" asked Eleanor elegantly when the dinner concluded."Yes, I did." Joey nodded.Her dress was sewn with smooth, silky fabric. Its plain but classy color, paired with its delicate embroidery, bestowed upon itself a regal air.Eleanor flashed her a rueful look. "I should have convinced you to sell me your dress. I adore its design."Not sure if Eleanor was being nice, Joey smiled and answered, "Thank you.""Grandma, let me walk you to the car," offered Kenneth."Sure," replied Eleanor affectionately.She knew that Kenneth did this because he didn't want her to misspeak and offend Joey. That said, his gesture also made Eleanor think that he would undoubtedly be an indulgent husband in the future.After Kenneth and Eleanor left, Joey let out a sigh of relief.Outside, Eleanor suddenly left a remark. "You like her a lot. So, why
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 386 Precious Arm
In Paul's mind, Joey had it coming when she decided to talk back.Compared to those who had challenged him in the past, breaking Joey's right arm was already a punishment considered lenient.Were it not for the boss' warning, he would have killed Joey.…When Joey woke up, her arm had already stopped hurting.Turning her head to the side, she saw Kenneth with puffy eyes. After a brief silence, she asked, "Is my right arm gone?""Your arm did not sustain a critical injury because we sent you to the hospital in time. Thank goodness for that. Bless you and your kindness," Maurine chimed in."Although you'll have a nasty scar on your arm," croaked Kenneth, like an injured puppy.Threads coiled around her arm where the metal wire cut into her flesh like a centipede."Scars will fade eventually. Have you checked the scene? I'm sure I stepped on oil," asked Joey. It could be evidence."It's no use. I could smell that something was off on your body when I came to rescue you, but the
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 387 Too Late
Zachary shouted toward the door when he saw Joey's pained expression, "Did the doctor not give her any painkillers?"Henry pushed the door open and said politely, "I'll summon a doctor right away.""Just leave, Zachary!" Joey yelled.Then, she turned to Henry. "No need to bring a doctor here. Taking him away beats all the painkillers in the world."Henry was confused. Within a few seconds, Zachary managed to get on Joey's nerves. Didn't he say he was here to make up to Joey?After Zachary was kicked out of the ward, he watched sullenly as Kenneth entered the room. He only broke his gaze when the door closed.Henry took a furtive glance at his superior."Spill it," ordered Zachary."You shouldn't yell at Ms. Linton. Showing affection when she is vulnerable can foster a relationship," muttered Henry as his eyes darted to the side.Zachary agreed with what Henry said, but his emotions had gotten the better of him just now. It felt like if he didn't take a drastic approach, Joey a
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 388 A Harsh Lesson
Joey frowned and sneered. "I don't take orders from you.""I'm serious, Joey. Unless you want the Fulhams to come after you, you stay away from Kenneth," said Zachary."I thank you for handling the assault case for me. But that doesn't mean you can tell me who I can hang out with," defied Joey.Zachary then said, word by word, "If you want to thank me, remember what I just said."Joey closed her eyes and continued, "I'm going to sleep now."It felt as if Joey did not take any of his advice seriously. Now that Joey shut down all channels of communication, Zachary could only return to his work.After two hours, Joey woke up.Zachary was sitting next to the window, his laptop resting comfortably on the window frame.Under the light, his slender fingers danced elegantly on the keyboard. It was as if they were an art to be admired by everyone.Joey was mesmerized, but she quickly withdrew her gaze."Do you want something to drink? I bought milk tea and ice-blended fruit juice. Pic

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
