The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 37 Joanna looked even more stunning than a celebrity on TV.

It didn’t look like she was holding a press conference. This was clearly a demonstration.

Roxanne was upset and felt more anxious than ever.

Ever since Joanna came back, Bruce had been treating her more coldly.

“Mom, look at Joanna's smug face! Do something! Don’t let her get so cocky!” Ingrid swallowed heavily, snorted, and swore, “Relax. Let her think that she has had her way first. Her plummet awaits her in a couple of days. By the way, have you been in touch with Mr. Everett in the past two days?” Roxanne’s eyes darkened when she heard that.

Bruce hadn't called her in two days.

Roxanne sighed exasperatedly.

“Why the frustration? You should strike while the iron is hot. In case of any undesirable complication, the matter between you and Mr. Everett shouldn't be put off any longer. If we keep stalling, | don’t know what's going to happen!” Resignedly, Roxanne retorted with gritted teeth, “What can | do? Surely, | can’t beg him to marry me?” Ingrid listened and poked her daughter in the forehead. “You are so stupid, forget it! I'm so smart. Why did | give birth to such a stupid daughter? If you were half as good as | am, you wouldn't be so bad at dealing with a man for so long!” “Why don’t you propose to him yourself since you're this tough? What's the use of blaming me here?” Roxanne said and stormed upstairs.

“Look at yourself! You sure have a way when it comes to dealing with me!” Ingrid rolled her eyes. “I'll go propose to him myself. You're useless! You even need your mom to do something this trivial for you!” Since Shaun stepped down as Chairman, the Haynes family seemed to have fallen out of the Greyport elite circle overnight.

Besides that, the marriage of Bruce and Roxanne kept on getting postponed.

Ingrid and Roxanne had been shunned out of the socialite gatherings.

Now, if they still wanted to gain back their glory as one of the riches and elites, Roxanne would have to marry into the Everett family as soon as possible.

All the ladies would definitely change their impressions of them if Roxanne successfully got married. into the Everett family.

Ingrid preened herself and decided to meet Bruce in person.

She had decided to fight tooth and nail to keep Bruce as her son-in-law.

Ingrid showed up downstairs at Everett Corporation after one hour.

Her heart thumped as she looked at the towering skyscraper in front of her.

This was the tallest and most luxurious business building in Greyport.

Chapter 37 It was also where Bruce worked daily.

Ingrid’s heart beat with excitement whenever she envisioned her daughter being the lady boss here. in the future.

“Well, wait till my daughter gets married into the Everett family! Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Roger, | will make you guys lick my feet!” Ingrid fastened her sling bag and put on her sunglasses.

Then, she strode confidently like a model into Everett Corporation’s building.

She was wearing a rose red hugging dress today and a big little vintage ruffle hat.

Although she was already in her forties, her figure was well maintained, and she looked ten years. younger than her actual age.

Everyone was stunned looking at the gorgeous and ostentatious woman.

Ingrid was like a colorful butterfly that suddenly flew into a colorless world.

“Hold on, Madam! No entry is allowed unless you are an employee of the company.” The guard hurried over and stopped Ingrid.

Ingrid raised her chin high and put her hands on her waist. She glared at the security guard. “Well, is Mr. Everett in the office? I'm looking for him.” The security guard was overpowered by Ingrid’s domineering aura as he heard her.

Seeing how she was dressed, he dared not to offend her further. “Just a moment, madam!” Then he paged the security manager. “There’s a lady in the lobby asking for Mr. Everett!” The security manager saw Ingrid through the recording in the surveillance room and didn’t dare to take things lightly.

He immediately reported Ingrid’s presence to Bruce's special assistant, Lily.

Lily received the message and quickly came downstairs to greet Ingrid.

Meanwhile, Ingrid was arguing with the manager downstairs. “Do you know who | am? Do you recognize me?” “I'm sorry, Madam! Outsiders cannot enter the group without an appointment! Please wait downstairs for a while.” “Let me tell you this. | just got off the phone with Mr. Everett. You don’t recognize me, do you? I'm Mr. Everett's future mother—in— law. How dare you call me an outsider? Believe it or not, you'll be fired by tomorrow!” The manager replied sheepishly, “I believe you, Madam. Please calm down. When Mr. Everett's assistant arrives, she'll take you up!” Lily finally arrived and greeted politely, “Hello Mrs. Haynes, please follow me!” Ingrid glanced at Lily and said in a sour voice, “You're Mr. Everett's assistant? How come you're at woman?” Lily shrugged slightly, not answering her question. “Mrs. Haynes, this way, please. Do you have an appointment with Mr.

Everett?” “I'm here to see my son-in-law, Do | still need an appointment?” “Mr. Everett is busy, and anyone would need an appointment to meet him. Why don’t you hang on a second, and I'll report back to Andy!” “All right. Please be quick.” Chapter 37 Lily swiped her elevator card and took Ingrid to the 32nd floor.

Meanwhile, in the office, Bruce was burying himself with work when Andy knocked on the door.

“Mr. Everett, Mrs. Haynes is here!” “Mrs. Haynes?” Bruce was puzzled.

“Ms. Roxanne’s mother.” Bruce frowned slightly. “What's she doing here?” “No idea! She was out there clamoring to see you. She said she was your mother-in-law, so Mark. didn’t dare to stop her and reported the incident to me.” Bruce frowned and hesitated for a few seconds. He didn’t want to meet Ingrid.

However, she was an elder, after all. Perhaps she was here for an urgent matter.

“Let her in!” “All right.” “Mrs. Haynes, this way! Mr. Everett has agreed to meet you!” “Haha! I've told you so! You don’t need an appointment to see your son-in-law!” Ingrid exclaimed proudly and followed Andy into Bruce's office.

“Wow!” It was the first time Ingrid had been here.

To her surprise, the office was even more luxurious and atmospheric than she had imagined.

Bruce's office occupied the whole floor.

Not only was there a gym inside, but there was also a small golf course.

“Tsk! Tsk!” Ingrid couldn't help but admire what she saw.

She was flabbergasted to learn that someone had taken this much space for an office in a golden district like Greyport.

“What extravagance!” she thought to herself.

“What a big office. It's such a waste!” Andy smiled and said nothing when he heard that.

After five minutes, Andy and Ingrid reached Bruce’s working space.

“Hey, Mr. Everett... Oh no, Bruce!” “Mrs. Haynes, what brings you here?” Bruce rose politely to his feet and greeted Ingrid.

Ingrid came up to him with a big smile and said passionately, “Oh, | have a shopping date with some of my girlfriends. | happened to pass by, so | thought I'd stop by and visit you!” Bruce's frown deepened. “Have a seat, please.” “Mrs. Haynes, would you like tea or coffee?” “Just coffee will do!”
