Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 51 You Are Not an Embarrassment
Joey pressed her lips together and regarded him enigmatically. She smiled slightly and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Everyone on the show is falling all over themselves to praise you. Dozens are waiting to throw themselves at you. How could you be an embarrassment? You're the star here."He had invested in this TV show and helped with her grandmother. There was no need to antagonize him. But she hated seeing Julia strut around like a proud peacock, and she felt that it was well within her rights as Zachary's wife to make a few sarcastic comments. Zachary actually took off his pants in front of her. "So, are you here to throw yourself at me too?"Joey was speechless. He was the one throwing himself at her!Joey had thought he would have some sense of shame, but he obviously didn't. In fact, he looked as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Immediately, her voice became colder. "You can think whatever you want."Zachary was prejudiced toward her, so any loophole
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 52 Someone Got There First
Zachary saw Julia to the door, but she suddenly saw the corner of a white piece of paper under the cabinet in the doorway. She moved slightly and looked at the paper out of the corner of her eye. It was a design draft. Immediately, Julia thought of the rumors that she had just heard. They had said that the sponsors would mingle with them, and if they wanted more screen time, they should think of ways to approach the sponsors. She rushed over here once Henry confirmed Zachary's arrival because she was worried these people would throw themselves at him. Had someone really gotten here first? She looked at the design draft, and her eyes suddenly took on a sinister light. She stopped, turned, and smiled at Zachary, saying, "Your room seems to have a different layout from ours."Zachary looked at her sideways, cocking his head to one side. Julia pretended not to see and quickly took in the room. Although it was different, it was still just a simple bedroom with an ensuite ba
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 53 She Must Win
Zachary was still wondering if she had told the truth.Joey walked to the door and said leisurely, "Mr. Gray, why don't you come over and check out the situation outside? I have to go out sooner or later."She stepped aside to let him out.Seeing her firm attitude, he didn't say anything more. He walked to the door, opened it, and looked outside. He glanced at several people nearby. Julia had called them. They didn't dare to offend him. So, they returned to the room dejectedly.Julia appeared from behind at the right time and said, "Haven't you slept yet? I just went to their bathroom."Zachary didn't respond. She had no choice but to go back.After confirming there was no one outside, he motioned for Joey to walk out.When she passed him, she said, "Mr. Gray, we'll get divorced sooner or later. You can rest assured then."He wanted to say something but Joey had already walked out and closed the door politely. She disappeared behind the door. Zachary looked at the brown doo
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 54 Does He Drive the Mistress Away
Joey couldn't refute that. Maybe he was her nemesis.Selena said comfortingly, "After this competition, let's stay away from him. We won't be so unlucky then."Joey's eyes were dull. "We don't need to. After the divorce, we'll part ways."When the topic of divorce came up, Selena's breathing grew heavier."I wonder what he means. He's cooperating with you to create scandals!" Selena sneered. "It's so funny. You're his wife. Does a couple need to create scandals? He's such a bastard!"Joey felt unhappy if she didn't scold Zachary. But she was even more uncomfortable when she did.They arrived at the restaurant. Julia was chatting to the people next to her. When she looked up and saw Selena approaching her, she frowned slightly. After a pause, she put on a smile. "Selena, why are you so late today? Did you sleep late last night?"Joey sat down and glanced at Julia. She wondered whether it was a casual question or a deliberate test.Selena leisurely sat down beside her and respo
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 55 There Is a Camera
Phase one of the competition was about the designers' style.There was no size. The designers needed to draw initial drafts based on their understanding of the model's style.It was a professional live program, so it was very organized. The contestants were given a lot of time. Designers had to submit their initial draft before 4:00 pm, then enter the group discussion to put it all together.It meant that designers needed a long time alone for inspiration to work on their designs.As an assistant, Joey had to communicate details and required sizes with the model. It was to facilitate the discussion when the group met. She and Selena weren't together, so there was no time to come up with another draft.After the host left, the hotel banquet hall became lively. Designers discussed the design concept theme.Joey was anxious as she followed Julia to her room. Then, she took out the notebook and tape measure. "Ms. Fisher, let me take your measurements."Yet, Julia was in no hurry. Be
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 56 He Does a Good Deed
Joey's efforts had become a point of ridicule for Julia. She smiled sarcastically but remained silent as she quickly brought Julia the coffee.Julia finally stopped. Although they didn't get along well, Joey managed to get half of her measurements. After some time, Julia lazed around again and went to the bathroom to take a shower.Joey took the opportunity to send Selena a message. "How are you doing there?"Selena replied, "Try to guess."She had no problem drinking with clients or bragging about Joey's designs for days. But she had stopped drawing a long time ago. She had already forgotten most of what she had learned in college. Even if her drafts came out well, her level would only embarrass Chloe.Over the phone, Joey imagined Selena's collapse. She put away the tape measure and knocked on the bathroom door. "Ms. Sanders has asked me to help you. Come to me when you're done, and I'll continue taking your measurements."She wasn't in a rush to do the measuring. The initial
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 57 The Connections
At least the design draft was important to Joey. She didn't expect Zachary to give it back. He had helped her get out of today's dilemma.She carefully wiped the dirty marks on the design draft but failed. She quickly copied the draft and said, "I'll be more careful next time. This kind of mistake won't happen again."Selena breathed a sigh of relief. "It's my fault too. If I hadn't abandoned my major all these years, I wouldn't be dragging you down."As soon as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.Joey guessed that it was the program team coming to follow Selena's creative process. She stood up immediately, signaling to Selena to get prepared.Selena, who was slumped on the sofa, immediately sat up straight. Joey picked up a pen and the draft. Coincidentally, it was the dirty one she had just put aside. It didn't matter. The drafts were all the same. She quickly made final touches along the lines of the initial draft. Joey stuffed the incomplete draft into her
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 58 Slander
The other side was also lively.Joey took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and shoved a draft into Selena's hands. Selena looked calm, tucked it into her clothes, and concealed it with the hem.Julia said, "Selena, I went to see you and found your design drafts were all finished. You're amazing. Many designers need at least a week to put out anything that caters to the theme."Everyone there understood the hidden meaning behind her words.But when Joey looked at her, her expression wasn't malicious. It was admiring. No one said anything. The designers stared at Selena as she smiled calmly. Everyone thought of what Julia had asked Selena yesterday. Had Selena asked Zachary for the theme and drawn the design draft before the program?Joey was stunned when she noticed the designers' suspicion and anger.Julia's words told everyone that, without a doubt, the competition was unfair. They suspected Selena had gotten the design theme in advance. No matter how har

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
