Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 100 Almost Revealed the Truth
Joey looked at Selena and nodded. "What you said makes sense." "I think it's related to Julia. Otherwise, why would they use this surname? They are trying to provoke you, the legal wife." Selena continued to analyze the situation. Joey didn't reply. She lowered her gaze and started embroidering. Selena also started working on her tablet. After a while, she paused. "I just remembered, you went out with Rose yesterday, right?" Selena hurriedly asked Joey. Joey nodded, "Yes, she took me there. She has been finding various remedies for me to try." Selena stared straight at Joey and asked, "Is it possible that Julia targeted Rose and asked the doctor to use her surname to provoke you? "She may not know who you are, but as long as she offended you, it's enough." Joey slowly figured it out and nodded. "What you said makes sense. If she wanted to offend Zachary's legal wife, she definitely wouldn't find someone close to her. "After all, it would be bad if Zachary caught her."
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 101 Threaten
She took a deep breath and explained, "Even though she's just an assistant, her departure and my staying behind make me seem disloyal!""I can overlook your breach of contract and waive the penalty, but Mr. Gray also invested in this program. If you offend him, it won't be easy for you in the design industry later," Kent said sternly to Selena. Selena glared at him angrily. "Are you trying to threaten me? Let me tell you. If she leaves, I have to leave too!" "What's the reason?" Kent asked with a questioning look. "Why do I need a reason? We are a team. Do you think I would stay here just for the money?" Selena said and pushed him away. Kent's eyes were filled with profound meaning. He fixed his gaze on Selena's back and suddenly smiled. "You'd better think it through. You were specifically hired by Mr. Gray to be Julia's designer. If you breach the contract, he might use Emmen as a scapegoat for Julia's failure."His words ignited the suppressed anger within Selena. Sh
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 102 Sweet-Talking
This was Joey's first time being mad at him, and it was because of another man! Zachary hung up the phone and simply smashed it. Henry was startled and didn't dare to make a sound. He quietly arranged for his subordinate to buy a new phone and bring it in. Upon learning from Kent that Zachary was in a bad mood, Selena rushed to Joey's room to console her. "You don't need to go head-to-head with Zachary over Uriah's matter. I heard he got angry and smashed his phone." Selena patted Joey on the shoulder. Joey leaned against her, suppressing her sadness. "For the sake of Julia, has he ever considered the impact on me? Why does Jerome bring Allie into the picture instead of others?"What infuriated her was Zachary openly disrespecting her in Julia's presence. Julia protecting Allie, who was involved in harming Joey, was undoubtedly a deliberate show of defiance. "I went to talk to Zachary about quitting the Program Department because I didn't want you to endure any injustice.
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 103 No Reason to Feel Unfairly Treated
Kent walked into Joey's room and closed the door behind him. He fixed his gaze on Joey with a rarely-seen seriousness in his big eyes. He gently asked, "Are you still angry, Joey?" Joey's condition didn't seem good. She appeared somewhat tired, and in her cool eyes, she held deep concerns. "I'm not angry," Joey replied. She was never really angry. She just felt disappointed. Kent supported her and led her to sit on the couch. He exuded gentlemanly manners, and his tone was gentle. "Joey, I spoke with Zachary. He agreed to spare Uriah and Jerome. However, he's a bit upset because you confronted him for Uriah." "He did so much for Julia, and I wasn't even angry. What right does he have to be upset with me?" Joey found it quite amusing. Kent let out a sigh and got Joey a bottle of water from under the coffee table. "Joey, he's angry because he's jealous. You're going against him for a male model, and he thinks you're being overly protective." Joey didn't take the water.
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 104 Ordinary Relationship
The outcome of the matter was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, but Allie and others were also given a warning. Julia couldn't find out why Jerome and Uriah stayed, so she felt a bit unsettled. She had a hunch that it might be related to Joey. However, she reassured herself that perhaps Chloe had pleaded with Zachary on behalf of Joey. The next afternoon, the Program Department organized a picnic in the hotel's courtgarden. The garden was spacious, and the lush green grassland created a delightful atmosphere. Julia learned her lesson this time. She made preparations in advance and arrived early to secure a spot. Unfortunately, Zachary wasn't as early. Seizing the moment when the crowd was thinning, Allie sat with Julia and whispered, "Do you think Uriah stayed because of Ms. Linton?"Julia, already feeling upset, frowned at Allie's words. "Joey is just an assistant. Why would Ashen care so much about her? It's definitely for Chloe's sake." Just as she finished speak
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 105 The Wound Will Heal on Its Own
Right after the words were spoken, Jerome immediately chimed in."Come on. Uriah saw her with a leg injury and was forced to do so many things, so he couldn't ignore it and decided to lend a hand. How did it turn into an unusual relationship in the eyes of some people? People with impure hearts find everything dirty, don't they?"With this mix of criticism and sarcasm, the show instantly heated up. "It's getting interesting! Previously, it was quite a routine, with the highlights mainly on Zachary and the assistant. Now, with a few more interesting elements, I find it quite enjoyable!" "Jerome and Allie seemed to have a good relationship before, right? It has only been a few days, and things have dramatically turned?" "Am I the only one who caught on to Ms. Linton being treated like a servant by some people in the Program Department privately? Could it be Julia? Only she would dare to take advantage of her good relationship with Zachary and bully the assistant. No wonder Allie
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 106 A seductress
Julia forcefully pulled back her hand. Being surrounded by onlookers, she had no idea what Zachary and Joey were doing at the moment. She suddenly felt aggrieved, and her eyes welled up with tears. Selena broke the silence, "Since you're not familiar with handling fruit, let me take care of it, Ms. Fisher. You may go to rest." Kent promptly chimed in, "Don't worry. The healthcare team is on its way. Let's disinfect the wound for the sake of reassurance." Jerome led Uriah away to resume their tasks. Meanwhile, Selena took over Julia's task. Kent was being exceptionally considerate. He had Julia sit down as he gently blew on her hand. After Zachary finished washing the blades of the blender, he approached Julia and asked in his usual tone, "How's your finger? Let me take a look." Julia lifted her hand, and the wound had stopped bleeding. It didn't appear to be deep either. The wound wasn't bleeding, so it lacked visual impact, making this minor injury appear less striking at th
Obsession of the Ex-husband Chapter 107 The Straw Is Working Well
The viewers of the live show got so excited that they kept on sending gifts. The entire screen became unclear, continuously vibrating from the bombardment of gifts. Zachary ate slowly and furrowed his brow occasionally. He had never tasted or prepared such dishes before, but he happened to have a talent for culinary skills. He found the food very aromatic, although the taste wasn't as good as the seafood he usually ate. Perhaps there was too much seasoning. Joey saw that he didn't seem to enjoy the food much, and she explained, "That's how skewers are. They use a lot of seasonings. It's not as plain as what you usually eat, but most people love it. It's stress-relieving to eat." Zachary flipped the skewers and asked her, "Do you like it?" Joey paused for a moment and then replied, "It's not bad." "Which ones do you like? I'll grill more for you," Zachary said with a nonchalant tone as he lowered his gaze. A peculiar feeling arose within Joey, but she swiftly remembered w

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
