Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 518 Already in Trouble
Emily apologized to Selena in the hospital room while Hanson and Vaughn stood in the corridor outside.Vaughn hesitated and looked at Hanson eagerly."Don't even think about it. If Joey could stay mad at Zachary for a year, imagine what she'd do if she found out you did a DNA test without her consent. She'd never forgive you," Hanson said coldly."I just want proof. I won't bother her for now." Vaughn was anxious, his palms sweaty from nerves."Mrs. Linton Senior has a lot of misunderstandings about our family. You and Mom should meet her first," Hanson said seriously."Joey is busy with work every day. Emily and I don't have the chance to meet her," Vaughn said while feeling utterly lost. He felt like everything he did was wrong."I'll invite Joey out for dinner tonight. You'll have two hours. Think carefully, prepare what you want to ask and apologize for, and get it all done in one go," Hanson advised his usually authoritative father."Okay, I got it." Vaughn nodded.Hanson
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 519 The Virtual Zachary
In a pitch-black room, Brook endured the pain as he poured iodine on the wound on his leg. It nearly made him faint. He bit down hard on a towel and muffled his groans of pain.Shirley held him with tears streaming down her face. Her voice was filled with hatred as she said, "I won't forgive Zachary for making you suffer like this!"Brook leaned against her and spat out the towel once the pain subsided and said weakly, "Zachary might already be dead."That day, he got knocked away together with the cage. There was a car crash after that, and he was shot…""I'm doing everything I can to track him down. As long as he hasn't returned to the country, we have nothing to fear!" Shirley said angrily."Prepare yourself. I don't think we'll be able to launder our money completely. We thought Yvonne was smart and capable, but she turned out to be a fool in love who only knew how to ruin everything!"Brook was seething, wishing that he could tear Yvonne apart."I'll help you remove the nec
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 520 The Closest to the Truth
Henry and Lawrence quickly arranged for Zachary and Shane to return home overnight.Lawrence stayed behind with a group to avoid suspicion. He decided to stay a bit longer until Zachary's condition was fully stabilized before heading back.After a long flight of more than ten hours, Zachary arrived at the Gray Estate late at night, which scared Harold."What happened?" he exclaimed.Henry pushed Zachary into the elevator with a gloomy expression."We encountered some problems while conducting business abroad. Mr. Gray Senior, you might need to handle the Gray Group's affairs temporarily and find a trustworthy doctor."Going to a hospital would be ideal but risky. Moreover, it was uncertain if Zachary would wake up, which left Henry with a lot on his plate.Harold was currently alone, as Rose was still under investigation by the police. She wouldn't be released until her innocence was proven.Seeing both Zachary and Shane hooked up to oxygen concentrators, Harold's eyes reddened
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 521 Sleeping
Joey looked at Selena. "He's been video-calling me daily for the past month. Nothing seemed off."As she spoke, she pulled up the screenshots she had taken and showed them to Selena, who also found nothing unusual."Maybe he came back to get something and then returned abroad," Selena mused.Joey nodded in agreement. "That's possible. Given all the business dealings, he might have needed to return for something important.""Yeah. Daily video calls don't leave much room for doubt," Selena added.Shortly after their conversation, Monica hurried into the office.Seeing Joey and Selena chatting, she tried to act normal but was still uneasy. "Harold is overwhelmed with taking care of Rose. I'm going over to help for a month. Hire a chef while I'm gone."Rose had been released from the police station the previous week but fell seriously ill upon returning home and had been bedridden for a week.Although Joey didn't want Monica to go to the Gray Estate, she couldn't stop her since Mon
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 522 Impressive
After talking to Zachary for a while, Monica left the room with Henry.In the first-floor living room, Harold said, "I don't think I can hold on much longer. If it comes to that, I'll pass the company to Joey. I trust no one else.""Stop talking nonsense! We still have a month. Zac won't leave us," Monica said.She looked around the room and suddenly exclaimed, "You men are useless! Look at how dirty this place is! If I were Zac, I wouldn't want to wake up, either!"She believed that the environment at home affected people's health. With the current gloomy and messy state, it was unlikely for a patient to recover.Harold and Henry were taken aback by her outburst."Henry, get some trustworthy people here. We need to clean up! A good environment is beneficial for the patient!" Monica commanded energetically, not at all defeated by Zachary's condition.Henry nodded dumbly. "Okay!"Monica's arrival changed the Gray Estate's entire atmosphere."Every corner needs to be spotless. T
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 523 A Conspiracy
Even if Joey had time, Stacy wouldn't let them meet her.Seeing that Emily was about to say something, Vaughn quickly stopped her. "Alright, we'll make an appointment. Please let her know.""Wait a moment," Stacy said before turning slowly toward the office.At the office door, she knocked before entering to report, "Joey, I told them Monica is away, and now they want to make an appointment to see you."Should I refuse? I think they just want to apologize. Do you care about their apology?"Joey nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Decline them. Tell them I'm fully booked this year, and we'll talk about next year when it comes."She was busy, and chatting with the Fulham family couple was the last thing on her list.Stacy was thrilled and returned to relay the message.After informing them, she couldn't help but add, "Mr. Fulham, Ms. Lane, even I, a mere assistant, remember what you did and said at Emmen a month ago."If I were you, I would be too ashamed to come repeatedly. Ms
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 524 Monica's Significance
This incident marked a significant turning point in Shane's career as an assistant.He transformed from someone who only acted on Zachary's orders into a top-level assistant capable of handling matters independently.Meanwhile, Monica brought the tacos and broth to Zachary's room. Just as she was about to talk to Zachary, the sound of a plate breaking came from another room accompanied by Rose's voice."Does Monica know how to take care of a patient? How can she make tacos for me?"Monica sighed and said to Zachary, "I'll go talk to Rose and be right back."As she left, Zachary's eyelashes fluttered.In Rose's room, Henry wore a helpless and aggrieved expression.Monica told him, "You can go and eat. From now on, I'll handle her meals.""Who do you think you are? Why did Joey ask you to come? The Gray family—""You seem energetic. I suppose you're not hungry, right? Given that you've wasted your dinner, you can reflect on it while starving tonight." Monica turned to leave.Ro
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 525 Love Me
Harold couldn't help but hug Monica tightly after hearing the doctor's words. Tears streamed down his face. "He's waking up! Monica, it's all thanks to you!"Monica patted his back with her eyes red. "I told you, we all need to stay strong so Zac will fight to recover."It had only been a day since Monica arrived, and Zachary had regained consciousness. The food she made held a special place in his memory.As the doctor was leaving, he asked Monica to follow him outside.At the entrance, the doctor said, "It seems you hold a very special significance for Mr. Gray. Otherwise, he wouldn't have regained consciousness just from a meal you prepared. What is your relationship with him?"Monica was taken aback by his words."My granddaughter is his ex-wife. He used to come to our house for meals often, so he probably has some memories associated with it," Monica said.The doctor shook his head. "Only someone with a very special emotional bond can evoke such a response from a single mea

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
