The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 244 Shaun placed the fruit basket on the bedside table with a grimace that he tried in vain to disguise as a smile.

Joanna scanned Shaun's expression critically. He definitely had something to ask of her. Otherwise, why would he be willing to come and see her? Unwilling to beat around the bush, she asked directly, “Dad, what's the matter?” The idea of having small talk with him was slightly repulsive.

Shaun smiled awkwardly. “No, it's nothing. | heard you were hospitalized, so | came to see how you were.

“No matter what, you're my daughter. Regardless of what happened in the past, there should not be grudges between us. Let bygones be bygones!” When Joanna heard this, she did not say anything. She only looked at her father suspiciously.

Shaun smiled uncomfortably and picked up the fruit basket. “Oh, have some fruit! Daddy will peel an apple for you!” “No need, you don’t have to go through so much trouble,” Joanna interjected.

“No, no, no. Eating apples is good for your health. | shall peel an apple for you!” As he spoke, Shaun opened the basket and took out an apple.

“Where's the fruit knife?” Seeing this, Ms. Chain immediately went forward to stop him. “Mr. Haynes, Madam is very weak. She has to adhere to a strict diet.

“The fruits she eats have to be specially imported.” As Ms. Chain spoke, she quickly took out a plate of washed fruits from the safe.

These fruits were obviously very costly. They were many times more expensive than the fruits Shaun had bought.

Seeing this, Shaun flushed slightly and put down the apple in embarrassment. “Alright then. If you don’t want to eat this, forget about it.” “Joann, how many days have you been in the hospital? Are you hurt?” When Joanna heard this, she narrowed her eyes, her suspicions confirmed. Shaun definitely had something to ask of her.

“Dad, what do you want from me? Just say it.

“Well, it's nothing really.” Seeing him stutter and stammer aimlessly, Joann’s patience was running out.

Sensing her displeasure, Shaun decided to get straight to the point. In an obsequious voice, he said, “That's right, | want to bring Roxy home!” “Look, can you tell Bruce to let Roxy come back?” Joanna was even more confused when she heard this.

Seeing Joanna's dumbfounded expression, Shaun immediately explained, “Well, here’s the situation. There was some misunderstanding between Bruce and Roxy. In a fit of anger, he imprisoned her in Sherane Bay Villa.

“You know what Bruce’s temper is like. He doesn’t consider the consequences when he does things, let alone how others feel, 13:44 Tue, 11 Jul GD Chapter 244 “Roxy is pregnant now. Your Aunt Ingrid and | had a discussion, and we feel itll be best to bring Roxy home and take care of her there.” Joanna frowned and asked in confusion. “Then go to the villa and fetch her back yourselves. What's the point of telling me all this?” Shaun sighed. “Bruce won't let Roxy go home now! “There was a conflict between him and Roxy! | called Bruce to reason with him, but he refused to listen to me.” “Oh, so you want my help now?” Joanna retorted bluntly.

She knew that her father would not come to see her for no reason. Even if she died, he might not choose to waste a single tear on her.

As expected, she was right. He really had something to ask of her.

Seeing Joann’s impatient expression, Shaun became a little angry. Gravely, he said, “Joann, do you have to talk about this now? You and Roxy are both my daughters, and | regard both of you equally. | love you as much as | love Roxy!” “I won't blame you for what happened between you and Bruce...” When Joanna heard this, she was so angry that she laughed. “Ridiculous! What right do you even have to blame me?” Shaun paused.

This wench stole her sister's boyfriend! Shouldn't she be chastised? “Alright, alright. Let's not talk about this now.” Just tell me, are you willing to help?” “If it were within my power to help, | would certainly help you, Dad. Unfortunately, you said it yourself — Bruce has a violent and unpredictable temper.

“If he wants to do something, who can stop him?” Seeing a glimmer of hope, Shaun's tone softened immediately. “But you're different. The both of you have a special relationship.

Who else would he listen to but you?” “Hmph, did you ever consider that you might have overestimated my position in his heart?” Joanna said coldly. She did not want to talk to Shaun anymore.

She didn’t recall seeing her father so anxious when she was imprisoned! Now that Roxanne was in trouble, he ran for help faster than anyone else! “Joann, | know you're still angry with me, but don’t make such a fuss now!” Shaun frowned, looking worried. “Roxy is now trapped in Sherane Bay Villa.

“She’s pregnant. If anything happens to her, it'll be too late for regrets!” Joanna rolled her eyes coldly. “Dad, | really can’t help you. Bruce won't listen to me too. If anything, you should go to the police for help!” When Shaun heard this, he punched his legs in exasperation. “Just tell Bruce to let me take Roxy home!” “It's such a simple matter. Do you still have to make excuses?” Shaun's voice suddenly rose. The smile on his face had completely disappeared.

13:45 Tue, Chapter 244 “It's not that | don’t want to help you, but you know what kind of temper Bruce has! “Why would he listen to me?” “How can you not know if you don’t try?” Shaun retorted shamelessly.

“If he refuses to listen to you, kick up a fuss and force his hand! If you make enough of a fuss, he will definitely listen to you.” Joanna was even more speechless when she heard this.

“I'm begging you, Joann. This is such a small matter. Would you like me to prostrate myself and plead before you agree?” Joanna felt an indescribable feeling in her heart when she heard this.

“Pass me my phone, Ms. Chain. I'm going to give Bruce a call.” Ms. Chain hesitated for a moment before handing the phone to Joann.

Beep, beep, beep! Bruce was in a meeting when his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was a call from the hospital, Bruce immediately picked up. “Hello!” “It's me!” Joanna said coldly.

Bruce paused and his tone softened. “What's wrong?” Joanna glanced at Shaun, not knowing what to say.

He looked back at her eagerly, signaling her to get down to business! “Um, | just heard from my father that you detained Roxy at Sherane Bay Villa. Is that true?” Bruce frowned slightly. “Oh, what's wrong?” “Can you ask Roxy to come home?” “Daddy is very anxious and worried now. He wants to bring her back!!” Bruce was extremely displeased when he heard that! He couldn't believe Shaun actually came to Joanna for help.

How could be shameless enough to do this? “Joanna, don't interfere in this matter! I'll explain everything to you in the future.

“I'm in a meeting now. I'll talk to you later!” With that, Bruce hung up! Joanna pursed her lips and said coldly, “Well, | called him. You heard it too. He won't listen to me at all!” Shaun did not give up and said anxiously, “Do you think he'll listen to you when you speak with that tone? 1 “Just tell him that if he doesn’t let Roxy go back, you will throw a tantrum that will shake the heavens!” *Are you kidding me?” Joanna was so furious that she found herself at a loss for words.

“Hurry up and call him again. No matter what, | must pick up Roxy today! Chapter 244 If you don't call, | won't leave today!” “Suit yourself!” Joanna snapped.

Seeing that Joanna was unwilling to help, Shaun could not help but curse again, “How did I give birth to a daughter like you? If | had known that you were such a heartless thing, | would have thrown you into the toilet when you were born!” “Roxy is your biological sister. How can you bear to see her suffer? Not only did you snatch her man, with him to harm her. Do you have any humanity left in you?” His voice rose with every word until he was practically screaming.

“Calm down. Mr. Haynes! This is a hospital. Madam needs to rest!” Ms. Chain reminded him.

but you also colluded When Shaun heard this, his eyes widened. Forcefully, he snapped, “She’s my daughter. Can't | teach her a lesson?” Carefully, Ms. Chain explained again. “Mr. Haynes, Madam just had an operation. It was very tough on her body. If you continue agitating her like this, I'm afraid she might...” “Isn’t she perfectly fine? “It's just a phone call. It's not like I'm making things difficult for her!” “Alright, alright. Stop arguing. I'll call him again!” Joanna had no choice but to call Bruce again! Beep, beep, beep! “Hey, Bruce!” “What's wrong now? Why are you calling again?” Bruce asked.

Joanna was in no mood to make small talk with him. Going straight to the point, she said bluntly, “Please let Roxanne go home today!” “Joann, she is involved in an important murder case! Before | investigate this thoroughly, she isn’t allowed to go anywhere.” Joanna immediately understood what he meant by this.

Bruce had the same suspicions as her. Like Joann, he suspected Roxanne had hired a hitman to Kill her sister.
