The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 145 Roxanne was aware that Bruce made a trip to the Haynes Group today.

Bruce paused for a few seconds. “I'll see how it goes tonight.” “Bruce, I'll feel scared if you don’t come back!” said Roxanne.

“There are so many ser vants at home. What is there to be afraid of? If you're afraid, call your mother over to accompany you,” Bruce remarked.

“Bruce, | want you to accompany me!” Roxanne spoke in a soft and pleading tone.

Bruce furrowed his brows deeply. “All right, then. I'll go home tonight!” When Roxanne heard this, she was overjoyed. “Then I'll cook for you!” “There's no need for that!” said Bruce.

“I want to do it. I'll go out to buy groceries later and cook. After that, I'll wait for you to be back,” said Roxanne.

“Just let the ser vants do these things. You don’t have to make yourself so tired!” said Bruce.

The more virtuous Roxanne behaved, the more uneasy Bruce felt! “Bruce...” Roxanne wanted to say something else.

However, Bruce interrupted her. “I'm in a meeting right now. I'm very busy. I'll talk to you later.

“We can talk more after | get home tonight!” “Oh, okay!” Roxanne’s eyes flickered and then she ended the call.

Less than five minutes after Roxanne ended the call, Ingrid called.

Ever since Roxanne moved into the Everett mansion, Ingrid had been calling her three times a day.

Seeing that it was Ingrid’s call, Roxanne quickly picked up.

“Hello, Mom!” she said.

“Hello, Roxy!" Ingrid said.

“Mom, is something the matter?” asked Roxanne.

Ingrid’s concerned voice came from the other end of the phone. “Roxy, what are you doing?” “Nothing at all!” replied Roxanne.

“Then why don't go over and accompany you?” asked Ingrid.

“All right,” said Roxanne.

Bruce was slightly obsessed with cleanliness and did not like others coming to his private residence.

Roxanne had been living here for more than ten days, but Ingrid had not come once.

An hour later, Ingrid came over eagerly.

Ingrid’s eyes lit up when she saw the luxurious mansion, and she could help but exclaim in admiration.

Chapter 145 30 “Oh my, Bruce lives alone in such a big place? “This house is too big. It's much better than ours! “After you and Bruce get married, Mom will move in with you!” As Ingrid spoke, she looked around excitedly and started touching everything she saw.

E Upon seeing that, Roxanne could not help but frown. “Mom, don't touch these things. Bruce doesn't like others touching his personal belongings. Don't touch them.” Bruce liked to collect porcelain and jade artifacts. The entire wall of cabinets was filled with all kinds of porcelain! Any one of them was extremely valuable and worth a lot of money! Ingrid pursed her lips and looked at the porcelain longingly. “What's wrong with that? You're going to marry him soon! I'm just taking a look! It's not as if I'm going to take them home!” “Mom...” Roxanne glared at her in annoyance.

“Okay, okay, okay! | won't touch them, okay?" said Ingrid.

As she spoke, Ingrid sat down on the leather sofa again.

Roxanne, on the other hand, looked unhappy and sat down beside Ingrid.

Looking at her daughter's troubled expression, Ingrid asked concernedly, “What's wrong? You look unhappy.” Roxanne frowned slightly. “It's nothing!” “How have you been? Is Bruce treating you well?” asked Ingrid.

Roxanne replied softly, “Good... But also not good.” “What do you mean by that? He's either good to you or not,” said Ingrid.

“I don’t know how to put it. If | say he isn’t good to me, that's not really true. After all, he buys all sorts of presents for me and shows concern for me too.

“If | say he’s good to me, well...” Roxanne was a little hesitant to speak.

“But what?” asked Ingrid.

Roxanne’s cheeks burned crimson. She found it hard to say what she wanted to say next.

Until now, Bruce did not touch her at all! She had moved to the Everett mansion, but all this time, Bruce and she had been sleeping in separate rooms.

This made Roxanne feel uneasy! After she was bullied by those men, although Bruce showed concern and pampered her, Roxanne could tell from his gaze that he minded what had happened.

Seeing this, Ingrid could roughly guess what was going on. She patted her daughter's shoulder. “Don’t overthink things. You've already moved into the Everett mansion now.

“No matter what, it's impossible for you to move out again! “For the rest of your life, you have to do whatever you can to stay here! Even if they ask you to leave, you mustn't do so!” “Mom...” Roxanne’s pupils constricted slightly, and she lay her head on Ingrid’s arms like a wounded kitten.

Ingrid caressed her daughter's head, feeling sorry for Roxanne. “Goodness, | haven't seen you in a while, but you slimmed down by a lot! Chapter 145 “That matter is already in the past. Don’t think too much about it. Let the past be in the past forever! “As long as Bruce doesn’t mention it, don't take the initiative to mention it! This matter will be over soon!” Ingrid advised.

“But even if | don’t mention it, | can't pretend that nothing happened. | know that Bruce actually minds it!” said Roxanne.

As Roxanne spoke, she could not help but start sobbing.

Ingrid frowned and then sighed. Looking at her daughter crying, Ingrid could only say comfortingly, “Don’t cry. You have to get over it! “You can only rely on yourself to lay the ghost of it to rest. No one can help you! “I'm telling you, you have to endure everything. Only by enduring the grievances that others can't tolerate can you be above everyone else.” Meanwhile, at Porash.

Joanna and Jaydon came to visit the factory early in the morning.

Jaydon looked at the factory in front of him with interest. “So this is the new factory?” Joanna nodded. “Yes, the equipment has been imported. After the renovation is done in a few days, it will start operating!” Jaydon smiled. “That's great!” Joanna sighed softly. “I was too careless while you were too impulsive!” “It doesn’t matter. As long as the factory is built, it will be able to function normally soon! We need time to slowly build up our client base. Everything is going to be okay,” said Jaydon.

Joanna made a sound of acknowledgment before she said, “I know.” “Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as we can overcome this difficult period, everything else will be okay,” said Jaydon.

When Joanna heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled. “I hope so!” “It's almost noon. Let's go have lunch!” suggested Jaydon.

“Sure!” said Joanna.

Jaydon asked, “You've walked for so long today. Are you tired?” Joanna smiled. “Not at all.

“There's nothing nice to eat here. We might have to drive downtown!” Upon hearing that, Jaydon said, “All right. Get in the car!” “Okay!” Joanna said.

She was just about to get into the car when a car approached them.

The door to the car slowly opened.

Bruce got out of the car with a dark expression.

He stood with his back to the light. Under the sunlight, he had a dark expression.

“Joanna!” Bruce yelled.

Joanna looked up at Bruce, and her heart sank. “Bruce, why are you here?” Bruce frowned and casually lit a cigarette. He snorted and then said, “Why? Are you surprised to see me?” Joanna was indeed surprised.

She was even more surprised by the fact that Bruce knew where she was. No matter where she went, he always managed to find her with unerring accuracy.

She wondered if he had installed a GPS tracker on her phone.

“Bruce, what do you want?” Jaydon also got out of the car with a gloomy expression.

Bruce narrowed his eyes and sized Jaydon up disdainfully! Following that, he glanced at Joanna. “Looks like you really didn’t take my words to heart!” Joanna's face turned pale. “Bruce, I'm warning you, don't be so overbearing!” Bruce said, “I'll give you one last chance! Leave Jaydon, otherwise, I'll ensure you two will have an even more tragic ending!” When Joanna heard this, she exchanged glances with Jaydon before saying, “Bruce, you're really too domineering! “No matter what, Jay and | will never break off our friendship! Also, you have no right to make demands of me!” Bruce spat out a mouthful of smoke and tried his best to suppress his anger. “Fine. You have guts. I've already given you a chance. You're the one who doesn’t know how to cherish it! “Very soon, you'll know the consequences of refusing to listen to me!” Bruce threatened.

When Joanna heard this, she frowned even more. “The smallest worm will turn being trodden on. We have no enmity against each other, so why are you targeting me like this? “Besides, | don't owe you anything, so don't always act all high and mighty!” Bruce gritted his teeth in fury. He had a ruthless expression when he said, “I'll make you regret this! You'll be crying and begging me to help you!” Joanna raised her head high and said coldly, “At most, I'll start all over again. Even if | go bankrupt, | won't beg you!” “Fine! You have guts. Just you wait, Joanna!” Bruce snarled.

“Whatever. I'm not afraid of you!” Joanna replied.

Bruce sneered, turned around, and got into the car again! Then, the car sped off.

“Joann!” Jaydon said worriedly.

“Jay, I'm fine...” Joanna said.

Bruce sat in the car, and his face was twisted with anger.

Andy said carefully, “Mr. Everett, where are we going now?” “Return to Greyport. Inform Shaun that | want to buy the shares in his hands, as well as the shares in the hands of Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul!” Bruce ordered.
