Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 395 Preparing for Battle
Joey looked at her calmly. "What if I don't seize hold of this opportunity?""Well, you better be prepared, then. You're the common enemy of half of the celebrity circle in Imperia."No matter how close you are with Hanson and Kenneth, our families will never let them offend those people for your sake if something happens to you," Emily warned sternly."I understand," Joey replied calmly.Seeing no reaction from her, Emily was somewhat angry. "Aren't you afraid of what I said?""I'll say it again. I believe there's justice in this world," Joey said. She didn't even raise an eyebrow."Ms. Linton, I want to know why you won't make Yvonne a design. Is it just because of the previous misunderstanding?"Aren't you being too petty? It was clearly a misunderstanding. If you hold a grudge like this and refuse to accept Yvonne's apology, I don't know what to do with you."Emily couldn't hold it in anymore. She bombarded Joey with questions, sounding rather frantic and emotional.At tha
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 396 The Investment Plan
Joey gave Selena a call.After she answered, Joey immediately asked, "Are you sleeping?""Don't you know my schedule?" Selena replied with a laugh. The sounds of a TV could be heard from her end."Have you ever thought about finding someone to finance us? Have you thought about establishing a board of shareholders?" Joey asked Selena.Currently, they only had management rights, and the bosses were Joey and Selena. They were not a company nor did they have shareholders.To fight the hidden figures in Imperia, the only way out for Emmen was to secure investors, establish a board of shareholders, and then become a public company.Selena took on a serious tone. "Are you suggesting that Emmen should become a legitimate company and then go public?""I plan to do that. However, it's more because we may face severe attacks. Before that happens, we need to find investors and gather the funds needed to operate normally."Joey had thought about how they would deal with Emmen, and it would
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 397 Borrowing Money to Invest
After successfully convincing Melvin, Joey felt that it was a pity that there was a person they couldn't bring on board.Cyrus had quite an influential background. Alas, he might lose his right to inherit the family business because of his marriage.Joey and Selena managed to convince nearly eight investors within a week. The smallest investment was three million dollars, and the total investment was nearly 100 million dollars.Thinking that they had garnered sufficient funding, Joey and Selena called for a meeting.As everyone took their seats, Joey had Stacy distribute the contract they had prepared.Upon receiving the contract, Melvin didn't bother to read it in detail as he was already aware of the general situation. The meeting's purpose was just to sign and seal the contract.Selena broke the silence. "Please take a look at the contract and raise any objections you may have."While Melvin was their close acquaintance, the other seven shareholders were their long-term busin
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 398 Emmen Company's Establishment
Selena nodded. As they had been secretive about it, she didn't expect that the news would spread to Imperia so quickly.Fortunately, they had completed their business financing, and the shareholders had hoarded sufficient supplies. If necessary, they could directly purchase what they needed from overseas."Do many people in Imperia already know about this?" Joey asked, turning to Cyrus."I'm not sure how many know about it. However, my situation is a little special."My friends pay more attention to your affairs as you've helped me before. Hence, I probably have more information about you than others do," Cyrus explained to Joey.Both Joey and Selena sighed in relief.Upon arriving at the company, Joey led Melvin and Cyrus into the office.Selena was too busy with matters of the newly established company to chat with them. Upon reaching the office, she fetched some documents and left.After brewing tea for the two men, Joey said, "We don't need to worry about the supply of our
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 399 Aggravating Zachary
After Zachary got out of the car, Yvonne quickly went over to him."Let's go," Yvonne said enthusiastically to Zachary.Zachary responded with an indifferent nod.Observing the way Yvonne treated Zachary, Hanson couldn't help feeling that she had deviated from her original intentions.However, he couldn't say anything. After all, Zachary didn't refuse Yvonne when she approached him.When the three of them entered the restaurant, Zachary immediately noticed Joey.Melvin seemed exceptionally happy at the moment, chatting with Joey and grinning from ear to ear.Zachary clenched his fists, which were hanging by his sides, a little. However, he only spared them a glance once before coldly retracting his gaze.Zachary sat down at a table opposite Joey.When Joey saw him, she thought to herself, "What a coincidence."Upon seeing Zachary, Melivn immediately waved at him. "Long time no see, Mr. Gray."Zachary nodded slightly in response.Melvin noticed that Zachary didn't look at Jo
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 400 Trouble Strikes Again
"How is the investigation that I requested you to help with going?" Joey asked Melvin once they stepped out of the restaurant.As soon as they discussed serious matters, Melvin's expression turned serious as well."It's hard to investigate the matter. I think the simplest way is to run a DNA test."It's easy to obtain some hair from the Fulham family, but it's hard to get any from Yvonne," Melvin replied, lowering his voice.What Joey understood from him was that he hadn't found any clues.However, it made sense to her. If it were so easy to find leads, the Fulham family would have been useless to be fooled so effortlessly."There's no way we can run a DNA test. After all, we're not members of their family," Joey said solemnly.If they couldn't find information about Yvonne's identity, it meant she couldn't deal with Emily.When Emily and Yvonne worked together, they were like an impenetrable fortress."Don't worry. I will continue to investigate it," Melvin said, afraid Joey
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 401 Changing Strategies
Joey considered using a foreign brand.But since the plastic was so insignificant, others might turn Joey down or think she was pulling a tasteless prank."Let's outsource it to a foreign supplier," Joey told Selena.During a crisis, all avenues for solutions must be thoroughly explored."I'll try."If only they could change the material. But the badge was already part of the brand logo.Customers often held a specific image of a brand. They only had faith in the brand if the specific element was present. If it were changed, they wouldn't purchase it."There's a fashion expo in Oceanum next week. We should attend it," said Selena after she called the foreign supplier."To find a supplier?" asked Joey."Yes. It wasn't part of the plan because we didn't need an OEM, but things have changed now." Selena sighed.Stacy rushed in when Selena finished her sentence. "Our fabrics are held up by customs. I was told they were unqualified."The workers were already waiting for the fabri
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 402 Let Him Wait
Henry found out about the predicament Emmen was facing and relayed everything to Zachary."Emmen is in dire straits. Not only are they unable to acquire the plastic needed for the badge, but their fabrics are also held up by customs in Mavola."The fabrics are confiscated because they found harmful substances on them. Emmen is fined because of that."Zachary turned on his heel and uttered coldly, "Visit the customs and ask them to release the fabrics."Additionally, find out who's abusing their power to do Emmen in. Report them to the authorities if you find the evidence."Then, Zachary turned to Shane. "You will head to Imperia and find out how many companies are trying to destroy Emmen.""Yes, sir," replied Shane.…When Joey and Selena were busy discussing synthetic fabrics, Stacy ran in and said in a hushed voice, "Mr. Gray wants to see you two."Selena lifted her head and looked at Joey. She then asked if she wanted to see him.Joey supposed Zachary must be here because

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
