Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 403 You Doubt Me
Zachary was waiting on the couch in the lobby.Joey brought him some snacks and said, "That's all I have here. I can order a take-out for you if you're starving.""No need." Zachary tore open a packet of rice crackers.Joey loved rice crackers. There were times when she had so much of them that she felt bloated.Zachary took a bite and looked at Joey. "Show TV's sponsors want to destroy Emmen. Are you sure you and Selena can fend off those sly foxes?""Are you here to doubt me?" Joey sat down and uttered calmly."Of course not." Zachary continued to munch on the crackers. He wasn't used to its dry texture, so he kept drinking water."You can make me one of your board members. I can easily deal with them," said Zachary seriously yet arrogantly as he looked into Joey's eyes.He was powerful. Those simpletons were no threat to him. Crushing them was as easy as crushing ants to him.However, Joey wasn't fond of Zachary's condescension."I know you're powerful, but Emmen is fully
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 404 Leave
Yvonne glared at Joey and shouted, "You hate yourself because you can't live up to your standard. Your stubbornness puts Emmen in jeopardy. You want to save it, but you're incapable of doing that."Zachary's help made you realize how inadequate you are, so you lash out at him. You are so ungrateful."Joey's eyes turned cold. "Leave, I said!"Zachary turned to Yvonne. "Who let you in?""You, too, get out of my sight!" Joey howled at Zachary.He knew Yvonne wasn't a good person, yet he hung out with her all the time. He knew how much she hated Yvonne, yet he kept appearing before her with Yvonne. Was he doing this on purpose?Zachary didn't say anything and left."I won't ask for your forgiveness anymore. You're petty and bitter," Yvonne added another insult before she left.Joey snickered. "You think I want your apology? You're using it as an excuse to seduce Zachary. You disgust me."Yvonne's face reddened. She pouted and dogged behind Zachary.Outside the building, Yvonne ap
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 405 What If
Judging from the look on Hanson's face, Selena could tell that he never thought Yvonne might be interested in Zachary."Is Yvonne the woman Kenneth's engaged to? In that case, won't the Yates make a fuss if Yvonne is too close to Zachary?" Selena indulged her curiosity.Hanson took another sip of his tea. "Kenneth likes Ms. Linton. The engagement has another purpose. He won't ever marry Yvonne, so that shouldn't be a problem."Selena held her chin and gazed at Hanson. "That means Yvonne can date whoever she wants. What if she falls in love with Zachary? Your family will have a wedding engagement with the Grays."Hanson straightened his back, surprised by what Selena said. "That's impossible. You know Zachary's character very well.""Right." Selena smiled.But she wasn't thrilled.Everyone thought Zachary would never fall in love with Yvonne, including her.But what if?"Does Joey still have feelings for Zachary?" Hanson probed gingerly."Of course not. She never goes back to
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 406 An Odd Village
Joey couldn't identify Yvonne in the photo. But she was confident that a visit to Taysee Village would give her the answer she sought.Joey and Selena departed for Oceanum the next day.It was an urban cosmopolitan. However, the area surrounding it was still underdeveloped.At the Oceanum Airport, Joey told Selena, "I have some information about Yvonne's identity to verify, so I need to visit Taysee Village. You'll attend the fashion expo yourself."Selena was looking at the baggage claim.When she heard what Joey said, she frowned, "Isn't this going too well? And what is this Taysee Village? Have you searched for it online? What if you can't find your way back?""Relax. The phone I bought is connected to the satellite. I will always have reception." Joey brandished her phone."Okay. Just be safe." Selena was worried.Joey waved at Selena and left with her backpack.After two and a half hours, Joey arrived at Taysee Village. It was a remote but scenic village. There were some
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 407 Timely Rescue
Joey didn't accept the pears. She smiled politely and said, "I'm allergic to pears. Do you by any chance know someone called Yvonne? She was adopted here."The woman flashed a look of confusion before nodding. "Yvonne? Oh, sure. You'll find another residential area behind that hill. That's where Yvonne's family lives.""Thank you," uttered Joey.Gazing at the nearby hill, Joey began to mull over the woman's suggestion.The hill wasn't tall, but the deeper she ventured, the more dangerous it would be.Furthermore, there was a look of confusion when she asked the woman about Yvonne.Clearly, the woman had never heard of a girl called Yvonne here.Joey continued pretending to look at the hill while she took in the village's eccentricity.She was sure that some people were peeping at her from the houses."Will my phone be able to get any reception there?" Joey turned around suddenly and asked the married couple standing by the door.The man answered, "Don't worry about that. This
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 408 No One Is Special
"We can do that, of course. But many are launching similar initiatives. Jumping on the bandwagon now might make others skeptical of us. Emmen is already in dire straits. Those sabotaging us can go around and tell everyone about our predicament," Selena explained. She continued, "Coupled with this charity initiative, we might give them more ammunition to attack us." Joey then rebuked, "We will process the recycled clothes. No one will criticize us then."Selena squinted for a while before responding, "I mean, you have my support if you want to do it. By the way, what were you doing at Taysee Village? You returned so quickly. I freaked out when you sent me your location.""Melvin found out that Yvonne came from Taysee Village. But it seems like he was fed the wrong information. That village is dodgy and I was saved by a teacher who worked as a secret agent there," Joey sighed."The way I see it, you should stay as far away from Yvonne as possible. I plan to expand the business to
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 409 To Each Their Own
The young man's face brightened up upon hearing Joey's honest criticism.He proceeded to give Joey and Selena his business card. "Can I buy you two coffees?"Selena accepted the business card with a raised brow and glanced at Joey."Sure," Joey answered.They did come here to look for business partners anyway.Sitting inside a nearby coffee shop, the owner made a small introduction. He was Harrison Zucman, the new CEO of Pixie.Harrison gasped when Joey removed her mask. "You're… Chloe!""Yes. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Zucman," Joey greeted with a smile.Harrison took a breather. "I can't believe I'd find you here."Selena then joked, "So why did you offer to buy us coffee?""I thought you two were designers so I wanted to hear your opinion on my products. But now, I'm too scared to ask anything," Harrison answered, his face flushing crimson. "Pixie is a veteran in the industry. You have produced women's clothes for more than a decade. Truth be told, I am disappointed to see
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 410 Following Her
When the conversation ended, Harrison added Selena and Joey on WhatsApp before leaving."Pixie's HQ is in Imperia. I assume you just found us a powerful ally before moving there?" Joey was surprised by Selena's decision.Selena leaned back and took a sip of her coffee. "Pixie is an established brand backed by wealthy shareholders. Furthermore, they have many suppliers. Even if the partnership deal with them is disadvantageous to us, we stand to gain more in the long run."Joey nodded. "As the new CEO, Harrison will want to prove his mettle and secure his position. He'll want to ride on Emmen's coattails. I'm sure he'll do his best to convince the board.""I think so too. And we need as many allies as we can get." Selena added, "Once Harrison agrees to work with us, I'll tell him all about the predicament we face now."With this fortuitous find, Selena and Joey went home.When they returned to Eldeville, Melvin told Joey that Zachary was at Taysee Village too. He was there the day

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
