The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 281

Although Bruce Everett did not want to forgive Joanna Haynes, he could not deny that what she said was true!

A child could not be without a mother’s company or a mother’s love! Especially a mother’s love could not be bought

with money!

“There’s no possibility that the custody of the children will be given to you!

“The children will be living with me in the future! I can promise you to let you visit them once a week!”

“No, I want custody of the children…”

Bruce sneered coldly, his brows slightly furrowing. “Joanna, don’t negotiate with me! You know best what kind of

person I am!”

After saying that, Bruce got in the car directly!

Lilia Haynes started crying, “Mommy, Mommy…”

“Lilia!” Joanna looked at her daughter and really wanted to hug her…

Bruce did not give Joanna a chance to cuddle her daughter at all, and slammed the car door shut directly!

“Bang, bang, bang!” Joanna pounded on the car door angrily!

“Wait a minute. You have to let me take back my luggage and the car!”

Bruce rolled down the car window and looked at Joanna coldly. “Don’t worry, I don’t want any of your belongings.

“I’ll have someone pack them up and send them to your company.”

With that, Bruce closed the car window and ordered the driver to leave.

Joanna watched as the car drove away.

She was filled with anger and frustration, but she knew Bruce was difficult to get along with.

However, this was also good. Being completely separated from him was not a bad thing!

Joanna angrily hailed a taxi and returned home.

In the car.

Bruce let out a few rough breaths, but his anger still could not be suppressed.

Lilia continued to s ob softly. “Mommy, Mommy…”

“Stop crying. She’s not your mommy anymore!”

“Daddy, please don’t be angry with Mommy, okay? I am begging you. Please forgive her!” With tears in her eyes,

Lilia pitifully shook her father’s arm.

Bruce, upon hearing this, became even more frustrated. He leaned back in his car seat and closed his eyes to

relax.

Joanna cared so little about his feelings and cared so much about Jaydon Grimm! He really could not accept to

forgive her!

This time, she had already crossed his bottom line. He would not forgive her so easily. He wanted Joanna to know

that he was not a man with no principles!

Ring, ring, ding!

Bruce was already feeling extremely annoyed, and now the phone was ringing again!

Feeling restless, he took out his phone and looked at it. Surprisingly, it was a call from Jennie Garcia.

“So annoying!” Bruce irritably muttered and threw the phone aside.

Ding, ding!

Not even a minute after the phone call ended, a Messenger message came through.

[Hey, Bruce, what have you been doing these days? Why aren’t you answering your calls?)

[Are you angry? I’m really sorry about that night. I didn’t mean it! I sincerely apologize to you. Did it cause a

misunderstanding between you and Joanna?]

[Bruce, reply to me. Are you really angry?]

[Should I call Joanna to explain?]

Jennie sent several voice messages in a row to Bruce.

However, Bruce could not be bothered to listen to them.

He did not like women who were too manipulative.

Even though Jennie’s tricks were perfect, how could a smart and wise person like him not see through them?

The next day.

In the conference room at the Everett Group.

Bruce walked into the conference room with a cold face.

The conference room was already filled with senior executives and directors, all with serious expressions, not

daring to be the slightest bit careless.

“Let’s begin the meeting!”

“Mr. Everett, we have good news!

“Princess Daisy from Novlis will arrive at Greyport next month for an international dialogue. They are currently

selecting a hotel for their stay.

“The hotel under our Everett Group is also on the list!”

Bruce frowned. “When next month?”

“On

the eighth of next month, Princess Martha will also be present!”

“We have to do our best to strive for this opportunity for reception and not make any mistakes!”/

“Understood, Mr. Everett!”

For foreign royal members to stay at the hotel was equivalent to creating sensational worldwide publicity for the

hotel.

It would also raise the status of the hotel greatly. Therefore, all major six-star hotels were eagerly competing for

this opportunity!

“Mr. Everett, here are the reports from the past few days.”

“Put them aside for now.”

“The orders from Escostan have also been faxed over.”

“Okay…”

The executives from various branches and the vice president reported on their work one by one, and Bruce gave

further instructions.

After the meeting.

It was already 11:30 in the morning.

Bruce returned to his office, and Andy had already made coffee.

Bruce spoke as he rubbed his throbbing temples. “Andy, go to the Haynes Group.

“Go and deliver Joanna’s car and her luggage to her.”

“What…” Andy was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Bruce with confusion.

Delivering luggage to Miss Haynes’s company? Wasn’t that clearly announcing a breakup?

He could not figure out whether Mr. Everett was serious about it or not.

Bruce frowned and said impatiently, “Why are you still here? Just go!”

“Sure, understood!”

As Andy was about to leave, he could not help but ask further worriedly, “… Mr. Everett, is there anything else you

want me to do?”

Bruce’s face turned cold. “No, that’s all.”

“Then I’ll go right away!”

It was 1:00 in the afternoon.

Joanna was in the office dealing with the work at hand.

Knock, knock, knock! The sound of knocking on the door echoed.

“Come in.”

Cora pushed the door open and walked in. “Miss Haynes, Andy is here!”

Joanna was surprised.

“What’s the matter?”

“He said he’s here to deliver your luggage and the car.”

Upon hearing this, Joanna could not speak a word and her face instantly turned pale.

Heh.

Bruce was indeed ruthless, sending someone to deliver her things to her office.

He was clearly telling everyone that he dumped her and kicked her out!

“Alright, I got it.”

Joanna spoke and went downstairs to meet Andy personally.

“Andy!”

Seeing Joanna approaching, Andy forced a smile. “Hello, Miss Haynes.

“Here is your car key and your items are already in the suitcase. I’ve placed it in the trunk for you.

“You can check to see if anything is missing.”

Joanna’s face darkened. “Hmm, I got it.”

“Well… then I’ll leave now.” Andy, who usually acted prudently, was stumbling and uneasy today.

“Sure.”

After Andy left, the employees started gossiping and whispering again.

“Oh my, what’s going on between Mr. Everett and Miss Haynes?”

“I don’t know. Mr. Everett asked Andy to deliver the luggage and car key to Miss Haynes. What does it mean?”

“Aren’t they living together already? Are they breaking up now?”

“I have no idea.”

“Tsk tsk, there might be some big news coming up! Let’s get ourselves prepared and enjoy the show!”

“Stop gossiping. Focus on your work to make more money!”

At the Office.

Joanna had a terrible headache.

She had always been worried about the trouble at the factory in Mossbourne.

Joanna pondered for a while before deciding to make a call to Michael Lawrence.

“Hello, Michael. Any news from Mr. Zaborski?”

Chapter 281

“Not yet. I have not received any response.”

When Joanna heard this, she felt disheartened.

It seemed like they were going to completely lose Mr. Zaborski, the important client!

Now, she had to expand into new businesses and markets!

Her relationship with Bruce had also fallen apart, and they had signed a betting agreement. It had been nearly a

year, but the company had not made any progress.

She needed to step up and make the company grow rapidly.

At Reagan No. 8 Residence.

It was dinner time.

Three children sat at the dining table while Bruce sat there feeling somewhat lost.

Irvin Haynes spoke up, touching the tender spot. “Daddy, why hasn’t Mommy come back?”

Davian Haynes chimed in. “Yeah! We miss Mommy! Where did Mommy go? Why doesn’t she come back to see us?”

Bruce looked at the two little ones gloomily. “Don’t mention Mommy from now on!”

Davian and Irvin were stunned hearing their father’s reply.

Lilia pouted her little mouth and silently shed tears.

Davian and Irvin exchanged glances at each other.

The news of their little sister’s illness being curable was good news.

But now that they could not see their mother again, they were upset.

“Daddy…”

“Hurry up and eat. After eating, go upstairs and sleep early!”

After saying that, Bruce placed the tableware on the dining table in a solemn manner. He did not even have the

appetite to eat and went upstairs to sleep.

“Lilia, did Daddy and Mommy have a fight?”

“Yeah, Mommy did something that made Daddy unhappy. When we were in Gaprington, Daddy was not happy

every day.”

“Then do you know what the argument was about?”

“I don’t know. I only heard Daddy talking to Mommy on the phone.
