The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 152

“Joanna…” Bruce felt suffocated and did not know what else to say.

“Take me home, now!

“If you don’t take me back, you can go back alone!”

When Bruce heard this, he opened the car door resentfully and forced Joanna back into the passenger

seat!

Then, he also got into the car!

Bruce started the car and drove down the mountain.

Along the way, the two of them did not say a word.

The atmosphere was oppressive and strange.

Half an hour later!

Bruce drove Joanna to the entrance of the neighborhood.

Joanna unbuckled her seatbelt and was ready to get out of the car.

Bruce coughed and said solemnly, “Think about it carefully. Call me when you’ve decided!”

Joanna did not even turn her head to look at him as she said coldly, “There’s no need to think about it. I

won’t agree to it!”

With that, Joanna walked straight into the neighborhood.

She wanted to go back and take a shower to wash away the traces Bruce had left on her.

At the same time, Joanna had to take the emergency contraceptive pill as soon as possible.

She did not want him to get her pregnant again.

Ten minutes later!

Joanna took out her keys and opened the door.

After returning home!

Tracy was shocked to see her in a sorry and weak state.

“Nothing!” Joanna replied coldly and walked straight to

“Miss Haynes, what happened to you?”

the bathroom.

Then, she filled the bathtub with cold water and soaked herself in it.

The bone–chilling water made the nerves in her body explode.

Joanna liked the pain of shivering in cold water.

As long as her body was painful and cold enough, her heart would not hurt.

This was the most effective way to treat heartache.

Twenty minutes later.

Joanna gradually calmed down.

She stepped out of the bathtub. Her entire body was cold and not warm at all.

After changing, it was already half past seven in the morning!

It was almost time to go to work.

A text message notification popped up on Joanna’s phone.

The car had already been towed away by the Transport Bureau!

Joanna still had to redeem the car later!

Joanna called Cora directly.

“Hey, Cora!”

“Miss Haynes, what is it?”

“My car was towed away. Go to the Transport Bureau and pay the fine to redeem my car!”

“Alright, Miss Haynes!”

Tracy made her a cup of coffee and a sandwich.

Joanna sat at the dining table and ate her breakfast quietly.

Her expression remained cold and indifferent, looking somewhat absent–minded and exhausted.

Tracy knew that something unpleasant must have happened to her last night. However, she did not

dare to ask. She just did her job quietly.

After breakfast, Joanna prepared to go to work.

“Lilia, Mommy is going to work,” Joanna said goodbye to her daughter as usual.

Lilia was also feeling a little unwell these few days. She looked listless.

“Bye, Mommy.”

“Okay, be good at home!” Joanna kissed her daughter. She did not notice the changes in her daughter.

At nine o’clock in the morning!

Joanna arrived at the company. As usual, there was a pre–work meeting!

“Miss Haynes, there is not enough fund in the account of the factory in Mossbourne!

“The manufacturer wants us to pay the rest of the money first before they’re willing to ship the rest of

the products!”

Joanna frowned. “How much more do we need?”

“About 4 million dollars more.”

“Got it. Tell the factory that I’ll transfer the money next week!”

“Alright, Miss Haynes!”

After hanging up, Joanna couldn’t help but hold her forehead in her hands!

Not to mention 4 million dollars, she couldn’t even fork out 200 thousand dollars!

Although there were 150 million dollars on the card Bruce had given her, Joanna did not want to use

his money!

Therefore, she had never touched his money.

The company no longer had any money on the books. Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul were even more firmly

against investing in the factory!

She had already invested so much money in it. If she lost money, all the money she had invested

would be wasted!

More importantly, the Skywinds Group and the Neorace Group had canceled their orders.

She had to find new business partners!

Just as Joanna was thinking about it, Luna walked in. “Miss Haynes, Mr. Grimm is here!”

“Show him in!”

“Okay!”

After a while.

Jaydon walked into her office.

As usual, he brought coffee and cake for the employees of the company.

“Jay, you’re here?”

Jaydon looked at Joanna gently. Seeing that her face was haggard and pale and that there were dark

circles under her eyes, he could not help but frown. “Joann, what’s wrong?”

“Jay…” Joanna wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked like she had a lot on her mind.

She knew that as long as she asked, Jaydon would definitely help her!

However, she did not want to ask him for help!

Jaydon had already helped her too much. She really did not want to cause him any more trouble!

Especially now, Bruce was going crazy from time to time! Her investment in Mossbourne might all go

down the drain!

If Jaydon were to invest money in it, he would probably suffer losses as well!

“What’s the matter? What’s there to be embarrassed about?” Jaydon could not help but ask again.

Joanna smiled. “It’s nothing!”

“I see that you’re not in good spirits. If you can’t take it, take a break!”

“Okay!”

“We still have to go to Venturas in the afternoon to pick up Davian and Irvin!”

Joanna was caught off guard and patted her head subconsciously. “Oh, right. It’s already Friday today.

I’ve actually forgotten about it.”

Jaydon smiled and teased, “Look at your memory. If I didn’t remind you, you wouldn’t even be able to

take care of your children!”

“Jay…” Joanna could no longer laugh.

“What is it?”

“It’s nothing!”

Jaydon paused for a few seconds and frowned slightly. “Is there a lack of cash flow?”

Although Joanna had never asked to borrow money from him.

But now, so many things had happened to the Haynes Group!

He knew that Joanna definitely did not have enough money!

In particular, she had invested all her cash into Mossbourne! Now that the orders had been revoked, if

the business were to fail, the over 14 million dollars she had invested previously would probably all go

down the drain!

“A little!” Joanna sighed and admitted it.

Jaydon smiled. “How much do you need?”

Joanna looked at him silently and did not say anything.

“Two million dollars?” Jaydon asked her with a smile.

Joanna remained silent.

“Four million dollars?”

When Joanna heard this, she sighed deeply!

“It doesn’t matter. I can still fork out a couple of millions of dollars!”

Joanna shook her head and refused. “Forget it! I’m afraid I won’t be able to make a profit out of the

business. I wouldn’t be able to pay you back then!”

Jaydon thought for a moment. “How about this…

“Coincidentally, I also want to go to Mossbourne to do business. Why don’t I invest in your factory and

you can give me half of the shares?

“We’ll work on it together!”

When Joanna heard this, she looked at Jaydon in shock and was rendered speechless!

“Jay, the market is not looking good right now.

“I’m afraid it won’t work out.”

“There are always risks in doing business! Besides, losing millions of dollars is not a problem for me!”

“Jay, this is not a small sum of money. You have to think carefully!

“We haven’t entered the Mossbourne market yet. It’s very likely that all these investments will go down

the drain!”

When Jaydon heard this, not only was he not scared away, he even tried to comfort Joanna. “Although

the market for opening a factory does not look

good, it’s still a business that should work out eventually! If we work on it hard enough, it will definitely

succeed!

“In any case, my film company has to invest millions of dollars in a movie. Sometimes, if there is a loss,

I can lose everything!

“I’ll just treat it as another failed movie!”

Joanna smiled bitterly. “Do you really think so?”

“Look at what you’re saying. Do I look like someone who can’t afford to lose money?”

“If you’re serious about it, I’ll welcome you with

open arms!”

Jaydon said seriously, “Of course I’m serious!

“It’s settled then. Next Monday, we’ll go to the factory in Mossbourne to re–inspect it!

“Also, print out the contract!

“You’re the major shareholder. You have 51% of the shares. Give me 49% of the shares!”

When Joanna heard this, her eyes widened instantly!

Jaydon would always help her when she needed it the most.

With Jaydon’s investment, her factory could open successfully!

At the same time, turnover of capital would not be a problem at all!

“Jay, you have to consider it seriously!”

“I’ve already thought about it. From now on, we’re business partners!”

“Thank you!”

“You’re treating me like an outsider by thanking me. I’m just saving myself another way out!”

Joanna smiled and stopped rejecting Jaydon’s good intentions. “Alright then! Next Monday, I’ll get Cora

to draft the contract!”

“Alright, it’s settled then!

“Let’s have lunch together!”

“Alright!”

“Then

“Okay!”

go ahead with your work. I’ll pick you up at noon!”

At noon!

Jaydon was already waiting downstairs.

Bruce happened to drive over as well.

Just as he was about to get out of the car, he saw Joanna and Jaydon walking out of the Haynes

Group building happily!

Instantly, it was as if someone had poured cold water on his head!

She actually dared to still be involved with Jaydon?

“Joanna, it seems like you really don’t take my words to heart!

“Will you only give in if I use a forceful approach?”
