The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 800

“What’s the problem? Do you need my help?” Joanna asked.

“It’s alright, I can handle it,” Jaydon replied with a forced smile.

Joanna frowned. She could hear the helplessness in his voice and roughly guessed what was going on.

Human beings died in pursuit of wealth, and birds died in pursuit of food.

Money was the most important thing, especially among wealthy families.

Even if they were biological brothers and sisters, for the sake of fighting for an inheritance, they would disregard

their brotherhood and fight.

Moreover, his siblings were not born to the same mother. Naturally, he would not be lenient when fighting for the

family

assets.

During this period, Joanna still heard some rumors about the Grimm Group’s inheritance conflict.

Cassius was ruthless. He seemed to have sued his other siblings and frozen the assets under their names.

Attempts were made to recover the assets already in their names and to demand a joint division.

To put it bluntly, it was a classic example of extermination.

With Jaydon’s personality, he was probably not Cassius’s match.

To be able to deal with someone like Cassius, it could only be someone as vile as Bruce.

Unfortunately, Jaydon was not the kind of person who was domineering, nasty, and vengeful.

“Jay, if there’s anything you need my help with, just let me know. As long as it’s something I can help with, I

definitely won’t refuse.” Joanna told Jaydon sincerely.

Although she could not help him much now, she had enough cash and could still lend it to him.

When Jaydon heard this, he felt even more upset. “It’s not necessary. I just wanted to call you.

“That’s it! I don’t want your husband to be angry again.” As he spoke, Jaydon planned to hang up.

He had always been protecting and taking care of her. Now that he was down and out, he didn’t want her to know

about his situation.

When Joanna heard this, her heart ached.

No one had reported that Bruce was infected with the virus yet.

Jaydon now risked calling her.

He must have encountered some difficulties.

Otherwise, he would not have called her casually.

“Jay, I happen to be free. Let’s arrange for a meet-up. We haven’t seen each other for such a long time. It’s time to

catch up.” Joanna took the initiative to meet.

Jaydon found it unbelievable.

What kind of person Bruce was?

He had learned it well.

He had already braced himself up to call Joanna.

“Is it convenient for you? I’m worried that your husband will be jealous.”

Joanna sighed faintly. “It’s fine. He’s on a business trip now. He won’t be returning to Greyport in the short term.”

“A business trip?”.

“Yes, he’ll be away for a long time. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Jaydon remained silent and hesitated for a moment.

The assets under his name had already been frozen. He could not even come out with the money for the lawsuit.

Even though he still had properties and real estate overseas, those were not cash. Even if he wanted to mortgage

and cash out, that would take time. Moreover, he did not dare to expose it for the time being. Once it was exposed,

he was afraid that Cassius would target him again…

To prevent Cassius from transferring most of his assets, he had to join forces with his other siblings to sue Cassius

as soon as possible and ask for a division of his father’s inheritance.

Therefore, he needed money now.

Moreover, it was not a small sum. Lawyers in Greyport charged expensive fees, and such lawsuits sometimes lasted

for

years.

He could easily borrow 600 thousand to one million dollars from his friends. However, if he wanted to borrow tens

of million dollars or even more, they might not be able to take it out.

“If it’s convenient, let’s meet.”

“Alright, let’s meet then,” Joanna said, looking at the time.

“Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, let’s go to Blue Pavilion for breakfast.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow.”

After hanging up, Joanna frowned. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She was worried about Bruce.

At the same time, she hoped that she could help Jaydon. After all, he had helped her so many times in the past.

She only wanted to repay him for his kindness.

“Waaaaaaa.” The babysitter walked out of the nursery with Devin in her arms.

Joanna was interrupted by her son’s cries. She quickly went over to check. “Devin, let me carry you.”

Joanna took the child from the babysitter’s arms and hugged him to comfort him.

The little boy cooed in Joanna’s arms a few times and closed his eyes to sleep.

“Deyin is so cute. He looks like Mr. Everett.” The babysitter flattered him casually.

When Joanna heard this, she did not say anything. She just silently hugged her son.

Although this little boy was born prematurely for a month, he was well-nourished and chubby.

Joanna hugged him for a while. Her arms were so tired that they hurt.

She could only hand the child over to the babysitter and ask her to bring Devin back to his room to sleep.

The next day.

Blue Pavilion.

Joanna woke up early in the morning and left with four or five bodyguards, including Tatiana and Cherron.

At half past eight in the morning, they arrived at the said restaurant.

Joanna walked in and waited for Jaydon at the reserved table.

There were a lot of restaurants serving breakfast in Greyport.

People used to meet up and have breakfast in a restaurant like this.

Breakfast and coffee were a great way to start a day in Greyport.

The breakfast in the morning was also rich. There were chicken and waffles, custard rolls, shrimp shakshuka, ham

and eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, and so on.

There were a lot of varieties, but the portions were small.

This was the most high-end restaurant, and every dish was exquisite.

Joanna ordered a cup of coffee, ordered some food, and began to wait for Jaydon to arrive.

Beep, beep, beep.

Joanna was still in a daze when Jaydon called.

“Hello, Jay

“Joann, are you there yet?”

“I’m already here. I am at the same table we used to sit at. You will see me

“Okay, noted.”

After confirming, they both hung up the phone.

you come to the restaurant.”

Five minutes later, Jaydon walked in with a gloomy expression. He was tall. He was wearing a black sweater and a

knee-length black coat.

He looked as handsome as ever.

However, his handsomeness was different from Bruce’s.

In terms of facial features, he was more exquisite than Bruce. His facial features were also gentler. He looked

softer and more humble.

On the other hand, Bruce was a typical type of handsome man. His facial features were not too exquisite. He had

unique features, making him look cold and aggressive. His entire body exuded an aggressive aura.

On the other hand, Jaydon’s appearance was much gentler. He looked like a humble man with good manners.

“Joann…” Jaydon waved at her.

Joanna also waved at him. “Jay, long time no see.”

Jaydon smiled gently and sat down across from her. “Has it been a long time? We just met last month.”

When Joanna heard this, an awkward expression appeared on her face. She was at a loss for words.

They had indeed met each other last month.

But that was at his father’s funeral. The two of them did not have a chance to talk at all. That meeting was not

much different from not seeing each other.

“I’ve already ordered some food. What do you want to eat?” Joanna said with an unnatural smile on her face.

“That’s enough. I’m not very hungry. I just want to see you.”

When Joanna heard this, her eyes turned red. There was an indescribable melancholy in her heart. “How have you

been recently?”

“I’m fine,” Jaydon replied. His gaze was a little erratic.

He did not want to ask Joanna for help.

After all, he was the one who helped her in the past.

“Then what about Carmel and Patricia?”

When Jaydon heard this, he smiled bitterly. “They’re all doing good.”

Seeing this, Joanna did not continue asking.

Carmel had always been a restless woman.

Jaydon refused to marry her.

She was still so young. Naturally, she would not spend her life with her child.

Hence, she joined the entertainment industry again.

As for Jaydon’s film company, ever since it was screwed up by Bruce, it had been unable to recover from the

setback. Now, it was gone.

Carmel had now signed with another agency.

The child was left to Jaydon to raise alone.

Although Joanna did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry, she still heard rumors about Carmel

She knew that Carmel seemed to be in a scandal with a celebrity,

However, it was hard to tell whether the matters in the entertainment industry real or fake. She could not tell if

Carmel had broken up or if she was in a relationship with someone else.

“What about Patricia? Who’s taking care of her now?”

Jayd

smiled tiredly. “Patricia is at Surbano now. I’ve hired a babysitter to take care of her.”
