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
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 411 Unannounced Visit
It was cold in Imperia in November.Fortunately, the office was equipped with heaters.However, everything outside looked desolate. And the wintry breeze threatened to slice one's face should one venture outside.This morning, when Joey and Monica arrived at the workplace, they heard Selena's angry voice from her office."We signed the contracts months ago and you're bailing out? You agreed to accept the wooden logos, and now you won't? If this is a joke, it isn't funny."Joey patted Monica on her shoulder and walked toward the office.Monica then disappeared into the kitchen.Inside Selena's office, Joey sat down on the couch.With one hand on her waist, Selena looked at Joey and continued to bark, "You're telling me right now that the coordinator had no right to accept it on your behalf? Fine. I had your written approval, with your signature and company seal."I also keep a record of our conversation. This is a breach of trust and I will sue you for it!"Joey was confused a
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 412 Collusion
Joey nodded. "She's Brook's wife."Monica wore a grim expression upon hearing Joey's answer."Brook's wife?" she repeated subconsciously."Shirley and Emily are twins. Emily is the elder twin, and Shirley is the younger twin," Joey explained as she invited Selena to have breakfast together.Sitting on the mat, Selena snickered, "Both are cowards. They hired people to sabotage us instead of fighting us fair and square."Joey patted her shoulder to console her. "Don't let them get to you."Before long, the conversation returned to the betrayal of Evy.Monica walked toward the door. A lot of things were going on in her mind.After breakfast, Harrison made a surprise visit. He looked tired but happy."I've convinced the board, but you two must come to my office for a meeting now." Harrison sat on the sofa and said keenly."Sure, no problem about that," Selena agreed.Harrison turned to her and asked, "So, should we go now?""Before I go, can I tell you something? You've heard w
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 413 Is He Into Yvonne?
"Achoo!"Selena suddenly sneezed when she was presenting the partnership's prospects to the shareholders.Joey immediately pulled some tissue papers out for her."Please excuse Selena. Eldeville and Imperia have different climates and she hasn't grown completely acclimatized to it," Joey apologized.The shareholders were understanding enough to look past the mishap.Selena rubbed her nose and continued with a frown. "While the consumers still know about your brand, your designs were dated, like from a decade ago. Those who purchase your clothes are no longer young."Joey continued to show slides of Pixie's past collection. She paused when she saw their summer collection from last year.Many of the designs from last summer were actually unwanted designs taken from Locker's warehouse. Someone inside the company must have bought those stagnant goods from Locker behind the shareholders' backs. They then got rid of Locker's logo and stitched Pixie's on top of it.Suffice to stay, Pi
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 414 You Won't Impress Him
Zachary's blunt response rendered Joey speechless.Inside the restaurant, both parties sat not too far from each other at different tables.Joey and Harrison talked about Evy's betrayal."We used good fabrics. I'm sure the sales will be good if we come out with a new product. Anyway, when we make the announcement tomorrow, we will have a surge of popularity. But you must reconsider the price range of your clothes, be them cheap or high-end products."High fashion makes a lot of profit, but selling a large amount of affordable, cheap clothing will generate a sizable revenue too," Joey told Harrison courteously.Harrison nodded. "I agree. Once we announce our collaboration, we will adjust the price. Emmen has tons of followers but they mean nothing if they do not buy our products. I'm planning to target the general consumer this time. What do you think?"Selena then said, "I'm glad we are on the same page."While Joey and Harrison were engaged in a fruitful conversation, the atmos
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 415 Underhanded Tactics
Zachary turned to Joey and asked impassively, "Why? Does your company need a chef this urgently?""I know what you're getting at, Zachary. But my grandma isn't like yours. Even in the village, she prefers to tend to her land from day to night. Otherwise, she'll feel bored," answered Joey.Zachary had no idea how happy Monica was engaging in these mundane activities."But she might be getting too old for work." Zachary's expression softened.Ignoring him, Joey opened her laptop to begin drawing a new design.After Evy's betrayal, she had to rush some new designs out.As this would be her first time working with Pixie, Joey figured she needed to oversee the project personally. They had agreed to be Emmen's subsidiary company, so Emmen had to perform due diligence.Zachary observed Joey in silence on the couch.After a while, he asked, "Did you go to Taysee Village to investigate Yvonne's identity?"Joey raised her eyes to look at him. "Yes. What about you?"Zachary was surprise
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 416 Bossing Everyone Around
Joey agreed with what Selena said. She, too, felt angry but powerless.Suddenly, the office phone rang.Selena saw that the caller was Pixie and picked it up right away."Hello?" she uttered coldly.Joey leaned closer to eavesdrop."It's me, Ms. Sanders. Can you contain the rumors online so we can release news of our collaboration later?" said Harrison professionally.Selena was pleasantly surprised. "Your company doesn't have any issue with the rumors?""What's the point of bringing this up when we're working together? Who knows what's real and what's fake anymore?"We just have to do our job and dispel the rumors. Don't forget the press conference tonight," said Harrison nonchalantly.A scandal broke out right when they were about to collaborate. It didn't take Harrison too long to realize that this was yet another sabotage attempt launched against Emmen."So you don't believe the rumors?" Selena was still shocked.Harrison chuckled. "You told me that someone's trying to s
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 417 Can Never Match Our Heights
Inside the press conference, Joey and Selena sat in their seats. Harrison and other higher-ups from the company followed suit.Zachary and others were seated on the first row below the stage. The rows behind were given to other business owners of the fashion industry.Cheerfully and sprightly, the emcee walked onto the stage."As you all know, Pixie is a staple among the domestic brands. I was wonderfully surprised when they announced a cross-generational collaboration with the upcoming star, Emmen."The emcee greeted everyone on stage.She then turned to Harrison. "Mr. Zucman, what prompted you to work with Emmen?"Harrison faced the camera and uttered casually, "Pixie is slowly fading out of public view. It is an honor to be able to work with Emmen."He implied in a tactful way that Pixie was past its heyday, and a collaboration with Emmen could hopefully help Pixie regain its former glory.The emcee nodded and commented, "When Pixie was first launched, it stole many women's

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
