The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 524

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Green Bay’s premises.

It was the end of the year, and the project had stopped. Nobody was around except for the security guards

guarding the materials.

Donald Hall, the person in charge of the project, and a few vice presidents were already waiting at the door.

After Joanna got out of the car, they quickly approached her with a respectful demeanor.

“This is Miss Haynes, Andy introduced.

“Hello, Miss Haynes!” Donald and the other vice presidents stepped forward to shake hands with Joanna.

“Hello” Joanna reached out and shook hands with Donald first.

Following that, Andy began to introduce the people in charge of the project. “Miss Haynes, this is Mr. Hall.

“He’s the overall person in charge of this project. These two are vice presidents, Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Yancey.”

Donald smiled. “Thank you for coming. You must be tired from the trip. Miss Haynes.”

Donald was about 50 years old and had a stout figure. He was wearing a suit and had a rounded belly. Donald had a

full head of shiny black hair. There was not a single strand of white hair. He should have dyed his hair often.

He looked younger than his actual age.

“Miss Haynes, you’ve had a long journey and must be tired. We have already booked a table at a hotel for lunch.

Let’s have a meal before discussing work.” Donald spoke like a sordid merchant..

It was obvious that he was a wily old fox.

Andy frowned. “Miss Haynes came over to get an understanding of the situation here. We should talk business

first.”

“We can’t do that! It’s almost noon. No matter what, we still got to eat,” Donald insisted.

Joanna hated attending such social engagements. “No need. You should just tell us about the project’s current

status.”

Upon hearing that, Donald said with a solemn expression, “Okay. It’s said that there are rare aquatic animals in this

sea, so we can’t do the land reclamation here.

“Also, they uncovered many ancient tombs from this land. A few archaeologists deliberately found fault with us and

complained that our company destroyed ancient artifacts. They want to build an archeological base here.”

Joanna frowned when she heard that. “How’s the lawsuit now?”

Donald replied, “Oh, regarding that… It’s almost the end of the year, so all the relevant departments are closed.

“No matter how anxious we are, we can only deal with this after the new year.

“Besides, all the workers have gone home for Christmas, so they can’t start work now.”

Joanna pondered for a few seconds before she said, “I’m not rushing you guys to start work. I’m just here to

understand the

situation.”

Donald said, “Don’t worry. I have a way to handle this.

“However, I need some time. As for those archaeologists… I’ll have a talk with them when the time comes.”

“Be tactful when negotiating. Don’t make things worse,” Joanna reminded.

“Don’t worry! We’re all reasonable people. We definitely won’t use violence on them,” said Donald.

When Joanna heard this, she felt a little more at ease. “That’s good.

“Let’s head to the sea and take a look. Also, get the designers and engineers to propose a few rectification plans.

See if there’s

for us to achieve the greatest value of this project without doing the land reclamation”

a way

“All right, I’ll inform the engineer later and give them ten days to hand over the reform plan,” Donald said.

Joanna nodded. “All right!”

Donald appeared to be an obese and lazy man, but he did pay great attention to Green Bay’s project.

“Miss Haynes, what else do you want to know? You can ask me if you have any queries,” he said.

“I’d like to take another look around,” Joanna said.

Donald had a solemn look on his face. “All right, I’ll bring you there now.

“The few of you, go and find a few safety helmets.

Chapter 524

“Please bring your safety helmet along, Miss Haynes, as there is a risk of falling objects at construction. This is

something inevitable.”

Joanna, Andy, and the others all put on their safety helmets.

Then, under Donald’s lead, they entered the construction site.

Building materials were everywhere inside. The cranes were not operating, but the foundation had already been

built. They would make quicker progress if they only needed to do construction.

They completed the inspection of the construction site.

Joanna went to the sea area in the vicinity to take a look.

The large sea also belonged to their land. They originally planned to reclaim the land.

However, the relevant departments did not allow them to do so now. If both sides were unable to reach a

compromise, they would have to make changes to their plan.

Joanna thought about it. It was fine if they could not do the land reclamation. Perhaps they could build an aquarium

instead

and turn it into a tourist attraction.

An hour later, they finished inspecting most of the places.

The rest of the problems could only be resolved after the new year.

Donald concluded, “So that’s basically our current situation. Don’t worry, Miss Haynes. After the New Year, we’ll

definitely get someone from the relevant department to make an exception for us.”

Joanna said. “Try to apply and get approval for the land reclamation. If you really can’t get it, we’ll change our

strategy or plan.”

“Okay, so that’s it,” Donald said.

After saying that, he looked down at his watch. “Miss Haynes, it’s already past one in the afternoon. Let’s have a

meal!”

Joanna shook her head slightly. “No need! We still have to rush back to Greyport.”

Donald said. “But we have already booked the hotel…

“There’s really no need.” Joanna interrupted.

She smiled. “I won’t be eating. I’d rather spend more effort on the project and solve the problem as soon as

possible.”

“Miss Haynes, don’t worry. After the annual leave is over, I’ll immediately look for the relevant departments,”

Donald reassured.

Joanna said, “Okay, then that’s settled.

“Andy, ask the driver to drive the car here.”

“Okay.” Andy replied and quickly called Kody.

Joanna and the others did not stay for dinner. They insisted on leaving after the inspection.

Joanna had basically understood the situation here and felt a little more at ease.

However, the relevant departments were all on holiday. Planning and marketing were her forte. Joanna originally

wanted to take a look there, but she could only wait until after the New Year.

“Miss Haynes, please get in!” Andy said.

“Okay,” Joanna replied

When Joanna returned to Greyport, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Andy asked respectfully, “Miss Haynes, should I send you back to the company or Sherane Bay Villa?”

Joanna thought for a moment. “Send me to the detention center!”

“Are you going to see Mr. Everett?” Andy asked.

“Yup!” Joanna said.

“Kody, to the detention center, Andy instructed.

“Will do,” replied the driver.

Twenty minutes later.

Kody stopped the car in front of the detention center.

Joanna got out of the car and entered the conference room under the lawyer’s lead.

Chapter 524

In the meeting room.

Joanna sat on the stool and waited anxiously.

After the lawyer and the guard had completed the visitation procedures, Bruce finally came over.

Just like a few days ago, Bruce was wearing a prison uniform. His head was shaved clean and shone as if it had

been polished. Although Bruce was still handsome. he looked exactly like a criminal now.

Joanna took the phone and called out softly, “Bruce…”

Bruce sat down on the other side of the glass window. As soon as he picked up the phone, he complained unhappily,

“Why haven’t you come to see me for so many days?”

“What do you mean? I just came over last week. Joanna said.

Bruce snorted. “It’s already been a week. You’re finally willing to come and see mel” Bruce frowned with

dissatisfaction.

Joanna sighed. She had slightly red–rimmed eyes.

This was the first man she slept with and the father of her children.

How could she not be worried when he was in jail?

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Bruce asked.

“You’ve already said everything, what else is there for me to say?” Joanna said.
