The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 143

“Mr. Everett, are you alright?” Andy hurriedly helped Bruce to the sofa.

The veins on Bruce’s temples stood out as his eyes revealed a hint of rage.

Joanna’s taser had very high voltage. Ordinary people would fall into a semi-conscious state after

being electrocuted.

Luckily, Bruce was fine. At least, he was still conscious.

“Mr. Everett, drink some water!” Andy quickly poured a glass of water and brought it to Bruce’s lips

worriedly.

Bruce took a few sips of water before his heart rate gradually slowed down. He lay on the sofa for more

than ten minutes before the numbness in his body eased.

“Joanna Haynes, you b itch! Just you wait!

I swear I will make you beg me on your knees.” Bruce gritted his teeth so hard that his eyes turned red.

Andy came out of the office with lingering fear.

Mark hurriedly walked up and asked, “What happened?”

Andy muttered softly, “I don’t know.

After I went in just now, Mr. Everett fell to the ground. It looks like he was attacked by Miss Haynes.”

“Huh? Really?” Mark widened his eyes in shock.

Now the Haynes Group was in such a difficult situation. Mark couldn’t believe that Joanna actually

dared to attack Bruce instead of trying to cozy up to

him.

“Then… was Mr. Everett very angry?”

Andy’s face darkened. “Yes, Mr. Everett was really infuriated just now. I was scared to death.”

“Miss Haynes is really bold. She actually messed with Mr. Everett. She’s already in such a difficult

situation. I can’t believe that she’s still so arrogant.”

“I thought she came to deal with Mr. Everett with a honey trap.”

“Stop talking. If Mr. Everett hears this, he’ll get angry again.”

Joanna had run out of the Everett Group.

Even though she had already walked out of the building, her heart was still pounding.

She had almost been raped by Bruce again.

Thinking about the scene just now, she could not help but feel a lingering fear.

She knew Brute well and was aware that he would definitely not let the matter rest.

She walked aimlessly on the street, her mind a mess.

Beep, beep.

Just then, Joanna’s phone rang, which startled her.

She took out her phone and looked at it. Fortunately, it was not from Bruce, but Jaydon.

Joanna calmed herself down and answered the call. “Hello, Jay!”

Jaydon’s soft and husky voice came from the other end of the line. “Joann, what are you doing?”

“I… am not doing anything. What’s wrong?”

“We haven’t seen each other for a few days. Let’s have dinner together tonight!”

“Okay!”

“Then I’ll go to your company to pick you up in a while.”

Joanna paused. She subconsciously glanced at the surrounding high-rise buildings and felt dizzy for a

moment. “No need. Where are you now? I’ll go to

you.”

“Are you not at the office now?” asked Jaydon.

“Yes, I’m outside now.”

“Then where are you? I’ll pick you up right now.”

Joanna sighed, “I’m… on the street.”

plight to t

on’t we go s

the restaurant?” suggested Jaydon.

“Alright. Shall we go to the restaurant we

went to last time?” asked Joanna.

“Sure. I’ll go there right now. How long will it take you to get there?”

“Twenty minutes.”

“Okay, see you later!”

“Then I’ll hang up first!”

“Okay.”

Joanna did not say anything else and hung up the phone weakly.

Her mind was a mess now, and she didn’t want to go back to the company.

It was good to meet Jaydon and have a meal together.

After hanging up, Jaydon quickly took his car key and got up to leave.

The little minx Carmel Basil had been listening next to Jaydon.

Realizing that Jaydon was going out with Joanna again, Carmel looked unhappy.

“Mr. Grimm, are you going to meet Ms. Haynes again?”

Jaydon put on his suit jacket and frowned. “What’s wrong?”

“The fact that our company’s movie can’t be released must have something to do with her. She’s now

Greyport’s most notorious prodigal daughter. Mr. Grimm, don’t you think you should stay away from

her?”

“Are you trying to interfere with my life?” Jaydon was a little unhappy.

He was intimate with these female celebrities.

But he was aware that this kind of feeling was different from love. He liked the feeling these female

celebrities brought him, but this was definitely not

love.

However, women often did not differentiate so clearly. Most of the time, when a woman had sex with a

man, she had fallen for him.

It was also common to think of this feeling as love. Unknowingly, Carmel believed that Jaydon slept

with her because he loved her. She thought it was

real love.

Therefore, when Jaydon was nice to another woman, she was jealous.

“I wouldn’t dare to do that. I just want t you to spend more time with me,” said Carmel

“Be good!”

“Mr. Grimm….”

Jaydon didn’t say much. He just put on his suit jacket and hurried to meet Joanna.

By the time Jaydon arrived at the restaurant,

Joanna was already there. She had ordered a cup of coffee and was enjoying it.

“Joann, I’m sorry I’m late,” said Jaydon.

“Joan mile

Joanna smiled at him. “It’s

too.”

Jaydon casually flipped through the menu and ordered two desserts.

“Okay,” the waiter responded and quickly went to place the order.

Jaydon took off his jacket and sat down opposite Joanna. “Joann, why do you look so pale?”

Although Joanna was wearing large black-framed glasses, he could still find that her face was very

pale. Her eyes were empty, and she looked a little

distracted.

Joanna pushed up her black-framed glasses. “Well, maybe it’s because I didn’t have a good sleep

yesterday.”

When Jaydon heard this, he subconsciously held her hand. “What happened?”

“Alas!” Joanna forced a smile at Jaydon and sighed deeply.

Jaydon could guess about it even if she did not tell him.

“What happened? Can you tell me?” he asked.

Joanna smiled, “It’s nothing. It’s just about work.”

“Did Bruce make things difficult for you again?”

Joanna was silent for a few seconds before sighing and replying, “Alas! I’m already used to it.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“My mind is in a mess now. I’m going to Porash tomorrow!”

“How many days will you be gone?” asked Jaydon.

“Maybe a week. The factory over there has already been taken over. I have to go there and take care

of it.”

Jaydon smiled. “I happen to be free these few days. How about I go with you?

“Then I can see if there’s any good business in Mossbourne,”

“Alright.

“If Mossbourne’s market can be opened up, I plan to shift the focus of my business to Mossbourne,”

Joanna said blandly.

She couldn’t wait to develop in Mossbourne for no other reason than to get rid of Bruce.

“Okay.

“Hurry up and eat! The desserts are here.”

Joanna and Jaydon smiled at each other and took a sip of coffee.

At the next table,

there were a few young girls who were dressed fashionably. They enjoyed afternoon tea together and

were taking turns posing for the photos.

“Look! They are Miss Haynes and Mr. Grimm, aren’t they?”

“Wow! It’s really Mr. Grimm! He’s so handsome.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Is Mr. Grimm blind? Why would he fall for a woman like her?”

“That’s right. I heard that Joanna’s father cut ties with her. He even expelled her from the Haynes

family’s family tree and wanted to fight with her for the Haynes Group’s shares.”

“I didn’t expect her to have the nerve to come out for afternoon tea.”

“How shameless she is! She seduces Mr. Grimm while still h o o king up with her ex-husband. She’s

really something.”

“You’re right.” A few young girls couldn’t help but whisper and point at Joanna and Jaydon.

Jaydon and Joanna realized that someone was pointing fingers at them.

“Are you full?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Then let’s go! Let’s go somewhere else!”

“All right.”

Joanna and Jaydon got up and left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the restaurant, they ran into a few media reporters. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Clearly, the reporters received the news and rushed over to surround Joanna and Jaydon.

“Ms. Haynes, Mr. Grimm, may I interview you

now?”

“I’m sorry, but we’re not available now.” Jaydon quickly stood in front of Joanna to prevent her from

being shot.

He knew that Joanna was most afraid of meeting these delinquent reporters.

“Ms. Haynes, what do you think about your father severing ties with you? Can you tell us about it?”

Joanna’s face was extremely sullen.
