The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 142

Joanna Haynes took a deep breath. It was as though her eyes were shooting flames as she pleaded,

“Can you not suppress the Haynes Group covertly?”

“What are you saying? We’re all businessmen here so there’s no such thing as suppression!”

“Besides, you said it yourself. It’s the client’s freedom to choose who they want to work with!”

“Therefore, you should be questioning the Skywinds and Neorace Groups instead, not me!”

When Joanna heard this, she choked in anger. “Alright! Fine! You win! I’m done!”

After swirling the wine glass a few times, Bruce Everett gently took a sip of the red wine.

He smiled wickedly at Joanna!

He has been doing business since he was fifteen years old.

After so many years, he had long been honed into a cun ning businessman!

It was simply foolish of her to think that she could go against him. She really overestimated herself! He

could suffocate her with just a pinch of his fingers!

“This red wine is not bad. Have a taste!” Bruce said as he passed the red wine in his hand to Joanna

again.

Joanna was not in the mood for any wine. She took two deep breaths and voiced out angrily, “Bruce

Everett, you can do whatever you want to me! But please don’t involve any others!”

Bruce looked up and knew that she was referring to Jaydon Grimm. “Who else did I involve?”

As he spoke, Bruce placed the wine glass on the table before he subconsciously loosened his tie.

Joanna sneered as she remarked, “Someone reported Jay’s film company for tax evasion. You sent

someone to instigate it, right?”

Bruce raised his eyebrow and retorted coldly, “Hmph, do you think that I’m that bored?”

Was there a need to ask? Other than him, there was no one else!

“Also, you were the one who sabotaged the film that Jay was working on so that it couldn’t be

screened, right?”

Joanna knew Bruce’s personality too well!

He could not stand anyone who offended him or went against him.

Anyone who does that would not be able to survive in Greyport.

He would use various vicious methods to take down and take revenge on his opponents or enemies.

“Hehe, what evidence do you have?”

When Joanna heard this, she retorted in contempt, “Evidence? What evidence do I still need?”

A normal person wouldn’t dare to touch someone like Jaydon Grimm!

Other than Bruce Everett, there was no way it could be anyone else.

“Of course. Evidence is important in everything! You can’t fabricate something out of thin air, can you?”

“I’m a good citizen who follows the law. I’ve never done anything illicit!”

As he spoke, his pupils constricted as he subconsciously approached her.

He didn’t know if it was because of the red wine or something else, but his tower abdomen was burning

and his heart was beating faster as well.

Joanna had yet to realize the change in his demeanor. She chuckled coldly as she responded, “Bruce

Everett, this is between the two of us so do not involve anyone else! I’d advise you to stop while you’re

ahead and not go overboard!”

When Bruce heard this, his heart ached slightly. He gritted his teeth and scorned, “Did you come here

today to tell me this?”

“Yes!” Joanna raised her head haughtily.

“You can do anything you want to me, but don’t take your anger out on Jay. He doesn’t know anything

at all. What you’re doing is too despicable!”

Bruce’s expression darkened as he asserted viciously, “Joanna Haynes, I’ve told you before! I told you

to keep a distance from him. Did you listen to me?”

“This is the price of your disobedience!”

“I’m not a dog or a cat, and you’re definitely not my owner! Why should I listen to you?”

“Fine, there’s no point talking anymore!”

As Bruce spoke, he suddenly stretched out his arm and wrapped it around her slender waist, wrapping

her tightly in his arms.

“Ah, what are you doing?” Joanna cried out in fear. When she realized what was happening, it was

already too late as she was already trapped in his

arms.

Bruce frowned slightly and his breathing became heavy. “What am I doing? Why don’t you tell me

that?”

With that, Bruce held onto her slender waist and suddenly carried her up.

“Ah–”

“Let go of me, don’t do anything rash…”

What a pity it was for her!

It was as though she had entered a lion’s den. It would not be so easy for her to get out safely!

Soon after, Bruce pressed her onto the sofa!

His fierce kisses swept over her from all directions.

He had just drunk red wine so his mouth had the faint taste of red wine!

Joanna was still suffocating, and her face had turned red!

The buttons on her blouse were being unbuttoned one by one.

“No, let go of me. Don’t touch me…”

Bruce’s eyes were filled with surging anger and his entire body emitted an extremely dangerous aura!

Joanna could not help but tremble like a frightened rabbit as she struggled in fear and despair!

“Bruce Everett, no, I beg you, don’t do this…”

However, when Bruce feels angry, he always loses his sense of logic.

He would really end up torturing her to death. No matter how much she begged for mercy, he would not

pity her at all.

“Joanna Haynes, I’ve said it before. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll make you regret it!”

“You better obey me now, and I might consider letting you off!”

Joanna stared at Bruce in horror, “Bruce, we can always talk things out slowly!”

Bruce’s lips curled into a teasing smile as he taunted, “Hmph, didn’t you come here today to

accompany me?”

“Why are you pretending to resist me now?”

“Don’t do anything rash. I came to talk to you about the company…”

“Heh, don’t bother explaining! I haven’t touched you for so long. Don’t you miss me?”

As Bruce said that, he had already unbuckled his belt!

He wasn’t thinking about anything right now.

He just wanted to conquer this woman who had repeatedly challenged his limits!

He liked to see her break down and beg for mercy.

“Let go, you lun atic!” Joanna shouted in panic as she used all her strength to hit Bruce.

Unfortunately, he was too muscular. Her resistance only exacerbated his suppression!

“Ah, help me!” Her breathing was instantly cut off again.

It was as if she was pressed under a mountain and it felt as though all the bones in her body were

about to break!

She knew that this would happen if she met him alone!

In this emergency, Joanna had no choice and did not dare to resist anymore!

She knew that the more she resisted, the more violent Bruce would be!

He would ‘torture’ her like a madman.

It was as she had expected!’

Seeing that she did not resist anymore and had given in, Bruce stopped being so rough with her!

After a while, he let go of her hand and started to unbutton his shirt.

It was an opening for her.

She immediately took out a stun baton from her pocket!

She then aimed it at Bruce and electrocuted him!

Buzz, buzz!

Bruce was caught off guard and he instantly felt jolts of electricity go through his body!

Joanna pushed him away with all her might and climbed down from the sofa immediately!

“Bruce Everett, I won’t let you touch me again! And I will never give in to you!”

After Joanna finished speaking furiously, she did not bother to tidy her messy hair and fled out of the

office in anxiety!

Bruce’s entire body went limp from being electrocuted. He fell onto the carpet and could not recover for

a long time!

Looking at Joanna’s back as she fled, Bruce’s eyes were scarlet red. He gritted his teeth and declared,

“Joanna Haynes, I’ll make you pay!”

He had never expected to be struck again! This was the second time he had been electrocuted.

It was all his fault for being too confident, thinking that Joanna had already surrendered to him.

However, he had not expected her to dare to resist him like this!

Joanna escaped from Bruce’s office looking like a mess.

In the corridor, she hurriedly brushed her hair with her fingers and tidied her clothes.

At the secretary’s desk

Andy and Mark teased softly, “I bet that Miss Haynes came to find Mr. Everett to throw herself at him

again!”

“That’s right! She kept saying that she wants to cut ties with Mr. Everett, but she still can’t let go of Mr.

Everett!”

“No wonder Mr. Haynes wanted to sever his relationship with her! In the end, Mr. Haynes is still biased

towards Miss Roxanne!”

Andy laughed mockingly and ridiculed, “Look, Miss Haynes has been in there for so long. She must be

doing it with Mr. Everett again!”

Mark smiled knowingly as he agreed, “That goes without saying!”

The two of them were discussing when they saw Joanna coming out of the office in a messy state!

“Miss Haynes…” The two of them were so frightened that their expressions darkened. They then

quickly went up to her.

Joanna ignored the two of them and walked straight to the elevator!

The moment the elevator arrived, she entered without looking back!

“So fast today? It doesn’t seem like Mr. Everett’s style!”

“That’s right. Mr. Everett always takes a long time. It hasn’t even been twenty minutes so why is it

over?”

“Could something have happened? Let’s go in and take a look!”

When Andy heard this, he quickly entered Bruce’s office.

When he arrived at the office, he realized that Bruce was lying on the ground.

“Mr. Everett, Mr. Everett, what happened to you?” Andy was terrified and quickly went forward to check.

Bruce’s entire body went numb from the electricity.
