Chapter 109
Upon seeing this, Andy was so frightened that he did not dare to speak. He quickly took out a tissue
and handed it to Bruce.
Bruce wiped his face with the tissue. He then suddenly thought of something. He said, “By the way,
let’s take a round on the overpass now.
“Turn around. Get on the overpass!”
A few cars whizzed onto the overpass again. Soon, they arrived at the spot where Bruce had thrown
Joanna’s phone.
“Here it is. Bruce said. “Stop!”
“Stop!”
The driver hurriedly pulled over.
“Find a few professional divers and salvage a phone for me!” Bruce said. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Andy was left speechless. He looked displeased. “It seems that Mr. Everett has thrown a cell phone
again,” he thought. “And this time around, he throws it into the sea!”
He still felt that it was a little strange. In the past, after Bruce smashed his phone, he would immediately
get a new one.
“Got it, Mr. Everett!” Andy said.
After Roxanne was left behind by Bruce, she drove to look for Gavin in a fit of anger.
In front of a dilapidated village house, a top–notch luxury car suddenly arrived, looking out of place.
“Wow, Roxy, is this your new car?” Gavin said as he sat in the front passenger seat of the Maybach,
looking pleasantly surprised.
Even if he worked hard for the rest of his life, he probably would not be able to afford such a car.
Roxanne replied coldly, “It’s not my car!”
Gavin’s eyes were filled with envy. “This car is expensive, right?” he said. “It costs at least 1 to 1.2
million dollars, right?”
“Hmph!” Roxanne snorted coldly. She did not answer Gavin’s question.
“Wow, this car is so cozy,” Gavin said. He could not help but smack his lips.
Looking at Gavin’s envious gaze, Roxanne felt even more bored.
The
gap
between Gavin and Bruce in terms of social status and wealth was just too wide.
“Roxy, can I drive it?” Gavin said. “I’ve never driven such an expensive car before.”
“Okay!” Roxanne replied angrily. She then stopped the car.
After all, Bruce left her behind. With a vengeful mentality, Roxanne got out of the car and exchanged
seats with Gavin.
Gavin got into the car and started the engine carefully.
However, this car had a very powerful engine. Gavin had never driven a luxury car before, so he could
not control it at all.
He accidentally stepped on the accelerator pedal too hard. The car suddenly accelerated forward. A
loud bang could be
heard.
The front of the car hit the tree in front of the house.
Instantly, the two of them were scared silly.
After a long time, Roxanne finally came back to her senses. She yelled at Gavin, “Are you dumb?” she
said. “How can you be so careless? How did you even manage to hit a tree?”
“1…” Gavin was also stunned. He hurriedly went down to check.
The front of the car was deformed from the impact and there was a dent where it hit the tree trunk.
“Do you know that this isn’t my car?” Roxanne said.
Gavin was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat and said, “What should we do then?
“Roxy, don’t be anxious! It isn’t very serious. I can get someone to fix it…”
“Are you crazy?” Roxanne said. “Do you know that this car costs over 2 million dollars? It can only be
sent to a car dealer for repairs!”
“Ah!” Gavin was so scared that he did not dare to say a word.
Since Gavin had crashed the car, Roxanne did not dare to tell Bruce. Naturally, she could not file an
insurance claim and she had to pay for the repair costs herself..
This was not the most crucial thing. The most crucial thing was that if Bruce found out about Gavin’s
existence, he would definitely dump her.
However, Bruce had a lot of cars. He had also given a few luxury cars to Roxanne.
He might not necessarily be in a hurry to ask her for the car.
The only thing she could do was to secretly fix the car and pretend that nothing had happened.
Just as Roxanne was feeling stressed out, her phone started to ring.
She took out her phone and took a look. It was actually Andy calling! She felt tense. She quickly
composed herself and picked up the call.
“Hello…”
Andy’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Hello, Ms. Haynes, this is Andy,” Andy said.
“Yes, Andy,” Roxanne said, trying her best to calm down.
“Where are you now?” Andy said. “Mr. Everett’s phone is in the car. I’ll send someone to get it later and
drive the car back.”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne felt even more tense. She stammered as she said, “Oh, um, I, I quite like
this car. I want to drive it for two days before returning it to Bruce.”
When Andy heard this, he quickly looked at Bruce.
Bruce listened from the side. He could not help but frown. This car was a limited edition and one of his
favorite cars.
If he had not been in a hurry to chase after Joanna, he would not have let Roxanne drive his car.
However, since she had already said so, he could not be bothered to argue with her.
Bruce then nodded at Andy.
Andy continued, “Alright then. I’ll go over later to get Mr. Everett’s phone and wallet.”
“Okay,” Roxanne said.
After hanging up, Roxanne still had a lingering fear. She could not help but pinch and kick Gavin.
Gavin was even more frightened. He kept apologizing.
The repair cost of this luxury car was at least tens of thousands of dollars, and he could not afford it.
This money had to be paid by Roxanne herself.
After Bruce returned home, he quickly took a hot shower.
The weather had turned cool now. He caught a cold that same night after being drenched in the rain for
so long.
The next day, Bruce woke up feeling groggy all over his body. His family doctor prescribed him some
fever–reducing medicine, but even after taking it, he still insisted on going to work.
At nine in the morning, Bruce arrived at the Haynes Group in an imposing manner.
This damn woman actually left him on the overpass yesterday and caused him to be drenched in the
rain for more than half
an hour.
He would not swallow this anger!
At the Haynes Group.
“Hi. Mr. Everett!”
“Where’s Joanna?” Bruce asked.
“Miss Haynes is not coming to work today.”
Bruce was left speechless upon hearing that. He was dumbfounded.
Come to think of it, Joanna the damn woman knew that he was coming to cause trouble today. She
was so frightened that she did not dare to come to work.
However, it did not matter. If she did not come to work, he would go to her house to look for her.
“Quickly call her and ask her to come back for a meeting,” Bruce said.
“Um, Miss Haynes went to Mossbourne today.”
Bruce was left speechless. He was even more dumbfounded upon hearing that.
“What is she doing there?” Bruce asked.
“Miss Haynes said that she’s preparing to build a factory in Mossbourne, so she went to Mossbourne
for an inspection today.”
Bruce’s expression turned serious. “When will she be back?” he asked.
Luna looked at Bruce carefully and said, “Um, Miss Haynes didn’t say anything about when she would
be back.”
“Whom did she go with?” Bruce asked.
“She went with Cora and two marketing managers,” Luna said.
“Got it!” Bruce said.
Upon responding, Bruce left in an imposing manner.
This damn woman actually wanted to go to Mossbourne to build a factory. The crucial point was that
she actually did not
discuss such an important matter with him.
Obviously, she wanted to avoid him. However, it was not so easy to avoid him,
After Bruce returned to the Everett Group, Andy came in to report. “Mr. Everely, your phone has been
salvaged,” he said.
“But the phone has been submerged in water and cannot be turned on.” Andy continued. “It has been
taken for repairs.”
“Got it!” Bruce said. “Send it over after it’s repaired.”
“Alright.” Andy said.
Early in the morning. Joanna brought her staff members to Porash for a site inspection.
This factory was built in 2001 with complete facilities. The owner is now in a hurry to sell it, so we can
make an offer and
take it over.”
There is another piece of land with a suitable area, but we need to build the factory and install the
equipment ourselves.”
“Just these two places?”
A marketing manager said seriously, “There are other places. However, it’s a little far and the location
is a little remote. I’m afraid it won’t be convenient to hire workers.”
“Then we don’t have to consider it.”
“Let’s go somewhere else!”
“Alright!”
Joanna brought two marketing managers and Cora to a few production sites near Porash for a day.
“Miss Haynes, we won’t be able to finish seeing everything today. We’ll probably have to spend another
two more days.”
“Yes. We won’t go back to Greyport today. Let’s find a hotel to stay in, so we don’t have to travel back
and forth.”
“Alright!”
The next day, Joanna had yet to return to Greyport.
Bruce was furious. He called more than ten times, but Joanna did not answer at all.
He had no choice but to call Cora.
“Hello!” Cora said.
“It’s me,” Bruce said. “Bruce.”
Cora felt tense upon hearing that it was Bruce. “Oh, hi Mr. Everett,” she said. “Is there anything you
need to instruct me?”
“Are you with Joanna?” Bruce asked.
“Um, yes, Cora said.
“Send me the address, Bruce said. “I want to come over.”
“Huh?” Cora looked surprised. She whispered to the person next to her. “Miss Haynes, Mr. Everett’s
calling,” she said.
“Who’s calling?” Joanna said.
“It’s Mr. Everett, Cora said.
“Hang up on him!” Joanna said. As Joanna spoke, she took the phone and said, “Bruce, don’t call
again!”
“Beep! Beep!”
Joanna immediately hung up.
Bruce was even more furious. “This damm woman actually dares to hang up on me!” he said.
After ranting, he called again.
“Miss Haynes, Mr. Everett is calling again,” Cora said.
“Ignore him.” Joanna said. “Switch off the phone!”
