The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1043

“Whose damn fault is she getting angry again for no reason?” Frantically, Bruce dialed the home’s landline phone.

In Greyport, it was already past three in the morning.

The phone rang for a long time before a servant came over to answer it.

After all, most people were using mobile phones these days, and this landline phone hardly ever rang in a month.

The servant yawned and answered the call. As she answered, she complained, “Hello, who is this? Don’t you know

what time it is? Does anyone not need to sleep?”

On the other end of the line, Bruce roared, “Everyone seems to be dead asleep! Why did it take so long for

someone to answer the phone?”

Were all these people dead?

“Hurry up and let Joanna take the call.”

Bruce’s temper was already bad. Now that he had to wait so long for someone to answer the phone, it made his

liver ache with anger.

When the servant heard Bruce’s voice, she was so frightened that she instantly lost her sleepiness. She wished she

could bite her tongue off. She really didn’t know that it was Bruce calling.

She quickly stammered, “Mr. Everett, please wait a moment. I’ll go call Madam immediately.”

The servant hurriedly put the phone aside and ran to the master’s room on the second floor.

She knocked on the door.

“Madam, are you asleep? Mr. Everett called and wants you to answer the phone.”

Inside the room, there was no response.

The servant kept on knocking on the door more carefully.

Still, no one replied from inside.

“Madam, Mr. Everett wants you to answer the phone.”

The servant shouted a few more times outside the door. Seeing that there was no response, she did not dare to

continue knocking. Then, she quickly ran back downstairs.

“Mr. Everett, it seems that Madam is asleep, and I couldn’t open the door to call her.”

At the other end of the phone, Bruce was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

He was most afraid that Joanna would not listen to his calls, and even more afraid of being cold-shouldered by her.

It was because every time she gave him the cold shoulder, he couldn’t bear it.

He couldn’t understand why women liked giving people the cold shoulder so much. Moreover, if they said that they

wouldn’t talk to you, they would really be patient and ignore you for the rest of their lives.

“Mr. Everett, why don’t you call back tomorrow?”

“Forget it, let her sleep!”

“Oh, Mr. Everett, do you have any other instructions?”

“Not to sleep so soundly from now on!” Bruce could not help but curse.

He had never been a man with a good temper, especially when he was angry.

It was impossible for him to speak gently and act like a gentleman when he was in a fit of anger.

Even under normal circumstances, he could pretend to be a gentleman for at most three days.

After hanging up, Bruce began to send Joanna some messages.

In their chatbox, he left her some messages

[Honey, what’s wrong with you now?]

[Honey, what crime have I committed this time? You blocked me.]

[Baby, please let me know what I did wrong. I immediately called you back as soon as I saw your messages.]

[Baby, I know I didn’t listen to the call just now and made you angry. But I really had something urgent and didn’t

hear it. I immediately called you back after seeing your messages.]

[Darling, let’s not play the silent treatment, okay?]

Although Bruce did not know why Joanna was angry, he knew that the consequences would be very serious.

Otherwise, Joanna would not have blocked his Messenger and his phone number.

Bruce instantly lost all thoughts and kept reflecting on what he had done wrong.

“Is she that angry just because he didn’t hear the phone call?”

Thinking about it, it didn’t seem possible.

When he was in the no man’s land, he hadn’t been able to hear the phone for several days, but Joanna wasn’t this

angry.

Twenty minutes later, Bruce’s mind was about to explode when he suddenly remembered.

Today, he seemed to have hugged Aria.

Could it be that Joanna found out about this?

Upon careful consideration, was convinced that it must be because of that incident. Otherwise, Joanna wouldn’t

have such an overreaction.

“This is bad. Could there be a traitor around me?” Bruce frowned.

Joanna was currently on the other side of the ocean. If there was no traitor by his side, she wouldn’t have known

that he had hugged Aria.

Bruce’s mind raced, and he quickly went through the list of people around him. Darcy and Carson would definitely

not dare to betray him.

They knew what his temper was like. If they dared to betray him, he would really make them wish they were dead.

Jason was even more unlikely since he didn’t even know Joanna.

He thought, “Could it be Aria that intentionally told Joanna something?”

Thinking about it, there was such a possibility.

After all, Aria could even use poison and hypnosis in order to be with him. If she still had some feelings on him now,

it was possible to for her destroy his relationship with Joanna.

Thinking of this, Bruce was furious. He immediately got up and walked to Aria’s

room.

He wanted to ask her if she had secretly called Joanna.

If it’s true, he will definitely not let her off.

The villa is very spacious. It is a large estate villa.

Bruce left his room and walked angrily towards Aria’s room.

Because of avoiding suspicion, Aria’s guest room is in another building.

Bruce had to walk through the small garden to reach the other building.

Outside the villa, Grace cautiously climbed in,

Darcy had been guarding the courtyard, afraid that Grace would catch up.

Just as he was feeling uneasy, he saw a furtive and petite figure crouching on the fence.

Needless to say, it must be Grace.

Darcy quickly approached the fence and whispered, “Grace, why are you here again?”

Grace made a funny face at him and said with a sense of righteousness, “I came here with a mission.”

“Don’t be silly, go back quickly. If Mr. Everett finds out, I’ll be in trouble.”

No one could resist Bruce’s temper.

“That scumbag Bruce actually dared to cheat on Joann with another woman. I will make him pay!” Grace exclaimed

indignantly.

09:37

At her age, she detested evil and couldn’t tolerate the slightest wrongdoing. If she encountered a mistress or a

deceitful man, she wouldn’t hesitate to take matters into her own hands.

She couldn’t wait to punish the mistress and the scumbag on the spot.

“Listen, stop making trouble. Hurry up and leave.”

“No, I’m Joann’s little detective now. I must help her find out the truth.”

‘Grace, stop it. If you don’t leave now, it will be too late.” Darcy tried to coax her in a low voice.

Grace had already crouched down and jumped over the wall that was as tall as a

person.

Seeing this, Darcy was afraid that she would fall and get injured, so he

immediately caught her.

“Love you.” Grace wrapped her legs around his waist.

Holding onto his neck, she gave him a big kiss.

Darcy’s entire body stiffened. He was really helpless against this clingy little girl.

“Who’s there? What are you doing there?” The butler of the villa heard the commotion and hurriedly came out to

check.

Seeing this, Darcy hurriedly smiled awkwardly at the butler. “Don’t mind her. This… this is my girlfriend.”

The butler raised an eyebrow, observing the intimate scene between the two, and a sly smile appeared on his face.

“Oh, I see, I see.”

Then, he shrugged and walked away as if nothing had happened.

After all, they all took advantage of the boss not being home to secretly bring women over for the night.

As the boss’s capable bodyguard, Darcy was young and strong. It was normal for him to secretly find a woman to

spend the night with.

“You finally admit that I’m your girlfriend!” Grace teased.

Darcy looked helpless. “I really can’t do anything with you. I’m working right now. If Mr. Everett sees us, he’ll skin

me alive.”

“Before he peels off your skin, Joann will peel off his skin first.

“Where is that other woman? Let me go find her?”

“Mr. Everett doesn’t have a mistress. Don’t talk nonsense. If Madam

misunderstands, the consequences will be very serious.” Darcy warned her with a serious expression.

Over the years, he had witnessed Bruce and Joanna quarrel every time.

Both of them were stubborn and it was fatal to fight each other. Now that they finally got married, if anything went

wrong, he didn’t know what kind of trouble it would cause.

“Tell me honestly, are you the same as your boss? Grace asked mischievously. “Me? How could I be?” Darcy

protested.

“I knew it. You’re different from that scumbag. If I ever catch you with another woman, you’ll see how I deal with

you,”

Darcy had a headache hearing this, but he couldn’t help feeling a sweet warmth in his heart.

Having a girl who got jealous due to him made him feel cherished.

Especially since Grace had made him fall for her, it was impossible for him to

love another woman in this life.
