The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 712

After lunch, Joanna was still worried about the contract.

“I’ll go deal with that contract-”

Bruce pouted unhappily. “Honey, you said you would play with me in the afternoon.”

Joanna laughed dryly and coaxed Bruce gently, “It’s just for a short while. I’ll be done soon! When I’m done, I’ll play

with you, okay?”

Bruce shook his head stubbornly. “No, my wife doesn’t keep her word. I’m unhappy!”

“It’s really just for a little while. It won’t take long.”

Hearing this, Bruce pouted even more and pretended to be pitiful.

“I hate people who go back on their words the most. My fragile heart will be hurt!”

Listening to his childlike tone, Joanna could only comfort Bruce. “Be good! It’s just for a while!”

Bruce sniffed in disapproval. “You don’t keep your word every time you make a promise. I don’t want to believe you

anymore,” Bruce said and turned his back on her.

“Alright! Alright! I’ll play with you, okay? Don’t be angry.”

This damn guy was not clear-headed now. If Joanna made Bruce cry again, Joanna would have to coax Bruce for a

long time.

“That’s more like it. I want a kiss!”

Joanna smiled in exasperation and could only kiss him.

Brúce grabbed her waist, and his hands started to wander again. Although it was just a light kiss, Bruce’s entire

body felt as if he had been fired up.

It felt too good yesterday. Bruce could not get enough. The only shortcoming was that Bruce did not satiate his

appetite. Furthermore, Bruce also did not dare to use his full strength.

It was simply too bad for Bruce.

Bruce could only endure for now. After all, Joanna had already made an exception yesterday.

For the entire afternoon, Joanna accompanied Bruce and the triplets to watch boring cartoons and do some

handicrafts.

At six in the afternoon, Andy came over.

“Miss Haynes, I’m here to pick up the documents that have been processed.”

Joanna handed a few documents to Andy. “These have been taken care of.”

“Will do, I’ll mail them tomorrow.”

“Yes, okay.”

“Then I’ll go now. Miss Haynes, call me if you need anything.”

“Will do.”

Andy smiled and said nothing more. Andy took the documents and prepared to leave.

While Joanna wasn’t paying attention, Bruce patted Andy’s shoulder and whispered into Andy’s ear, “You better let

Mr. Miller go through these again.”

With that, Bruce walked away as if nothing had happened.

Andy was stunned. Andy subconsciously looked at Bruce’s retreating back.

“Didn’t they say that Mr. Everett was cognitively impaired? Why did Mr. Everett speak so logically just now?” Andy

wondered to himself.

“Oh my god, is Mr. Everett pretending?”

Thinking of this, Andy’s entire body trembled, and his hair stood on end.

Andy had been working for Bruce for almost nine years, so Andy naturally knew Mr. Everett’s temper and

personality very well. Although Andy couldn’t be absolutely right about everything, Andy could take a good guess on

many things.

After interacting with each other for a long time, sometimes, with a simple look, Andy would know what Mr. Everett

was hinting at. This is known as tacit understanding in the workplace. For example, the confidante of the king has to

figure out what the king is thinking at all times.

Andy could no longer remain calm.

Andy’s heart was pounding rapidly, such that it was about to jump out of his throat. “Oh my god, have I done

anything wrong recently?

“Did I say anything I shouldn’t have? Did I do anything I shouldn’t have?

“Oh my god, it’s over. It’s over.”

Andy stood rooted to the ground and broke out in a cold sweat.

Joanna saw Andy standing there looking dumbfounded. “Andy, is there anything else?”

“N-no, nothing else. I’ll head back now.”

“Goodbye, Miss Haynes. Goodbye, Mr. Everett.” Andy’s initially cool attitude instantly became ten times more

respectful.

“Be careful on the road. Don’t lose the documents!” Bruce winked at Andy meaningfully.

Even though Bruce’s voice was not loud and was even very gentle, when Andy heard Bruce, Andy felt a chill run

down his spine. Andy swallowed hard and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Everett. Lunderstand.”

After saying that, Andy did not dare to delay for a second and quickly left.

Andy still had lingering fears after he left Sherane Bay Villa. Andy recalled and sorted out everything he had done

recently. Fortunately, there were no slip-ups and Andy had given no sign of betraying Mr. Everett. During this period,

although Mr. Miller and the other shareholders kept trying to rope Andy in, Andy withstood the temptation and did

not switch sides easily.

Otherwise, Mr. Everett would definitely skin him alive.

After Andy left, it was time for dinner.

The family had dinner happily again.

After dinner, the family took a walk on the lawn. At around nine o’clock, they returned to their rooms to rest.

The next day, when Joanna woke up early in the morning, the children had already gone to school.

After a simple breakfast, Joanna hurriedly went to deal with the work she had left behind yesterday.

“Why is it so strange? Why can’t I find the documents from yesterday?” Joanna muttered to herself.

Joanna searched her desk thoroughly.

Unfortunately, after going through the pile of documents, Joanna still could not find that specific contract.

“Lilian, has anyone touched these files?”

Head shaking in denial, Lilian said, “No. No one came there at all.”

“Why is it so strange? How did that Fraynice document disappear?”

Joanna mumbled and started looking around again.

Joanna searched the entire living room, but she still could not find it.

Joanna remembered very clearly that she had placed it on the table yesterday.

But today, the contract had disappeared without a trace. No matter how hard Joanna searched, Joanna could not

find it.

The children would not come here. It was impossible for the children to take it away.

“Honey, what are you looking for?” Bruce walked over and asked knowingly when Bruce saw Joanna looking for

something.

Bruce pretended he had just woken up.

“I’m looking for the Fraynice contract from yesterday. Did you see it?”

“I sawit

“Where is it?”

Bruce said blankly, “Weren’t you looking at it yesterday?”

Joanna choked in anger. “No, I’m asking your if you saw it today.

“I just woke up

and haven’t been to the living room. How can I see it?” Bruce looked at Joanna innocently.

How strange. Why is this document missing?

“Oh no, could Andy have taken it?”

Thinking of this, Joanna was shocked. Joanna quickly took out her phone and called Andy.

Andy quickly picked up the call. “Miss Haynes, hello. What can I do for you?”

“Andy, how many files did you take with you yesterday?”

“Oh, a total of eight,” Andy answered truthfully.

“Eight?” When Joanna heard this, her frown deepened.

“Oh no, this is bad. It looks like Andy really took it,” Joanna thought.

Joanna processed a total of seven documents yesterday. Joanna thought she had been careless and accidentally

placed the document on the pile which had been processed.

“Oh, what a nuisance! Where are the files now?”

“It was given to Mr. Miller yesterday.”

Andy had initially planned to give them to Liam today.

However, recalling what Bruce had said to him, Andy did not dare to procrastinate.

Andy had personally sent the documents to Liam’s house yesterday.

When Joanna heard this, she became even more anxious.

There was something wrong with the contract.

Even Joanna was almost fooled. If it was handed to Liam, Liam would definitely fall into the trap.

“There’s a loophole in one of the Fraynice documents. Hurry up and ask Mr. Miller if he has signed it.”

“Yes, okay.”

Hearing Joanna’s anxious tone, Andy did not dare to overlook this issue.

Andy quickly went to Mr. Miller’s office.

“Mr. Miller, have you seen the documents I sent over yesterday?”

“Yes, I’ve already had the secretary mail it. Is there a problem?”

When Andy heard this, Andy could only brace himself and say, “Miss Haynes called just now and said that there’s a

problem with the contract with the Frayn winery.”

“What’s the problem?”

“Miss Haynes didn’t say.”

When Liam heard this, Liam waved his hand impatiently. “There’s no problem. I’ve already signed the contract. Tell

her not to worry.”

“Mr. Miller…” Andy hesitated.

“Get out!” Liam said with a gloomy face.

After all, Andy was Bruce’s senior assistant. Andy was not on the same side as Liam.

During this period of time, Liam had been trying to rope in Andy.

Unfortunately, Andy didn’t cooperate with Liam at all. Andy would feign ignorance and refuse to work for Liam

Therefore, Liam would not be amiable with Andy.

Andy left Liam’s office and called Joanna.

“Hello, Andy. How did it go?”

“Miss Haynes, Mr. Miller has signed that document.”

“What?”

“Didn’t you tell him there was a problem? Tell him to intercept the file quickly.”

“Mr. Miller said it’s been mailed out!”

When Joanna heard this, she looked even more anxious. Joanna sighed. “That’s so fast.”

Usually, Liam would drag his feet in everything he did.
