Chapter 140
Inside the company.
“Oh my god, look, Mr. Haynes has cut ties with Miss Haynes!”
“Why is that?”
“I don’t know. I heard that it was because Miss Haynes always hooked up with Mr. Everett, which
angered Mr. Haynes!”
“What a mess this rich family is in! Since Miss Haynes and Mr. Everett are divorced, why do they have
to get involved with each other?”
“That’s right! They’re a family. Why must they make it such a disgrace!”
“If you ask me, none of them are good people. They’re all responsible for it!”
“However, the fact that Mr. Haynes is so determined to sever his father–daughter relationship with Miss
Haynes showed that Miss Haynes has indeed broken Mr. Haynes’s heart!”
“That’s right! Miss Haynes has already announced that she would kick Mr. Haynes out of the board of
directors. How ruthless this is!”
“No wonder they broke off their father–daughter relationship!”
The employees of the company were also shocked by this news,
During lunch, they gathered in groups of three to five and whispered to each other!
These days, Bruce felt terrible about what happened to Roxanne, so he had always been at the
hospital with Roxanne!
And the ambiguous relationship between Joanna and Jaydon made him even angrier!
He decided to take advantage of this wind to ruthlessly dampen the spirits of Joanna and Jaydon!
Oh, women!
They shouldn’t be allowed to have a career. Once they had a career, their wings would really grow!
In the past, when Joanna was not the chairwoman of the Haynes Group, she was so humble and
compromising when she was with him!
Now that she had become the chairwoman of the Haynes Group, she was more capable and dared to
stand up to him. She no longer took him seriously
and even ignored him!
Only by destroying her career and cutting off her wings would her pride and confidence be completely
destroyed! He was sure that she would come to beg him dejectedly at that time!
In the office of the Haynes Group!
Joanna was in a daze when there was a knock on the door!
“Bang!”
“Come in!
“Miss Haynes!” Cora walked in with a stack of documents!
“What is it?”
“The factory in Mossbourne is settled. We can sign the contract tomorrow!”
“Here are the printed contracts and documents!”
Joanna put on her glasses, took the documents, and started to read them. “Oh, I got it! Do the
preparations tonight. We’ll go to Porash tomorrow!”
“Alright!”
“Miss Haynes…” Cora hesitated.
Joanna raised her head and looked at Cora steadily. “What’s the matter?”
“Have you seen the negative news online?”
Joanna’s expression darkened. She said coldly, “Ignore them. Do what you have to do!”
“Alright!”
Cora adjusted her expression and said worriedly, “However, the negative impact of this incident on the
Haynes Group is great now! Do you think it’s better to postpone the matter of building a factory in
Mossbourne?”
“Why?”
“The Skywinds Group and the Neorace Group seem to be wavering now! They’re not rushing the
supply anymore. I’m worried that something bad will happen!”
Joanna continued to read the contract and asked casually, “Something bad?”
“I’m afraid that if they cancel the order after the factory in Mossbourne is built, the Haynes Group will
lose more than it gains.”
“Let’s build the factory in Mossbourne first. This is to open up the market of Mossbourne in the future!
Even without the Skywinds Group and the Neorace Group, the factory in Mossbourne will be built
sooner or later!”
“After the factory is built, we still have to develop other businesses!”
“Alright!”
The next day!
Joanna brought Cora and two marketing managers to Mossbourne to sign the contract!
The factory had been taken over!
The total investment in various equipment plus the construction of the plant and rent, etc., was over 14
million dollars!
Because Mr. Paul and Mr. Roger did not support building a factory in Mossbourne, the factory investor
in Mossbourne was Joanna alone.
This factory was originally a foundry. Therefore, it only needed simple maintenance and imported
production machines from abroad to maintain operations!
Just like that, more than half a month passed!
Joanna was still busy every day. Fortunately, Bruce did not come to pester her again.
Although her days were busy and burdensome, she could still handle it!
On this day, Joanna had just arrived at the company and had yet to enter the office!
Cora came over with a shocked expression. “Miss Haynes, something bad has happened!”
Seeing Cora’s pale face, Joanna’s heart sank. “What is it?”
“As expected, the Skywinds Group and the Neorace Group canceled 80% of the order!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this news, Joanna’s eyes widened as if she had been struck by lightning!
After all, she had built a factory in Mossbourne and had already invested a lot of money. It was also
because she had the Skywinds Group and the Neorace Group’s orders that she was more confident.
But now that the two companies had canceled 80% of their orders, the factory in Greyport alone could
do it. There was no need to build a factory in
Mossbourne at all.
“How did this happen?”
“They said that there were too many negative impacts from the Haynes Group. They were afraid that
we won’t be able to rush out the supply. Therefore, they canceled 80% of the orders and continued toUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
cooperate with the Everett Group!”
Upin hearing this news, Joanna’s heart skipped a beat, and she weakly fell onto the chair!
Needless to say, it was Bruce who was behind this!
If he did not put pressure on the Skywinds Group and the Neorace Group, they would not be willing to
bear the penalty to cancel the Haynes Group’s
orders!
It had to be said that this move of his was really ruthless and sinister!
Taking advantage of the fact that she had invested a large amount of money into the factory in
Mossbourne, they canceled the orders! This double blow directly made it difficult for Joanna to move
forward!
If the Skywinds Group and the Neorace Group had canceled their orders earlier, she might not have
opened a factory in Mossbourne and invested so much money!
“Oh…” Joanna laughed speechlessly!
She knew that Bruce would not let her have an easy time! This was only the beginning. She did not
know what was waiting for her behind!
She wondered how he would deal with Jaydon!
Seeing Joanna’s cold smile, Cora looked even more worried. “Miss Haynes, how can you still smile?”
Joanna laughed coldly. Her heart was like dead ashes as she said, “What else can I do? Can crying
help?”
“Should we think of a way? We can’t just sit back and wait for death!”
Joanna narrowed her eyes and leaned back in her chair in a daze. “What else can we do?”
“Why don’t we… go and beg Mr. Everett?”
“Come on…” Joanna sneered in disdain again!
At this moment, Bruce was probably laughing secretly! He had only used some tricks, and she was in
such a difficult position. It was as if he had hit her in her weakest spot!
His goal was to wait for her to beg him.
Things didn’t work out on Joanna’s side!
Jaydon was also having a hard time!
His new movie was stuck. The movie could not pass the audition, so it could not be released!
With an investment of over 20 million dollars, if the movie could not be released, the money would be
wasted!
After thinking about it, Joanna still took out her phone and called Bruce!
IVIUIT, 2U JUIT
He could deal with her, but not Jaydon!
There was a buzz.
Bruce’s phone started vibrating.
Bruce took the phone and saw that the call was from Joanna!
“Okay, this damn woman finally can’t take it anymore!”
For the past month, he had been resisting the urge to call her or look for her!
Unexpectedly, she had never called him once!
She only remembered to call him when she needed to beg him!
“Hello!”
“Hey, it’s me!”
“What is it? Say it!” Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly, pretending to be dark.
Joanna paused for a moment and mustered her courage. “Do you have time?”
“Why? Are you asking me out?”
“… Yes, are you free? Can we meet?”
When Bruce heard this, his Adam’s apple moved. This month, he had missed her so much that he had
gone crazy.
However, in order to take care of Roxanne, and jealousy of Jaydon at the same time, he endured it and
didn’t go to see her!
This damn woman didn’t even send him a message!
She wanted to talk to him now, but he was not going to agree to meet her that easily. He knew that she
was begging him for the company!
“I’m very busy. My schedule is fully booked until next month!”
“Just a meal. It won’t take long!” Joanna tried her best to sound calm, but her heart was already filled
with anger.
“Well, forget about eating! If there’s anything else, I might consider it!”
“Mr. Everett, I’m looking for you to talk to you about the company…”
“I’m sorry, I’m even less interested in talking about work!”
“However, if you say that you miss me, I might consider meeting you!”
