The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 518

“Impossible. She was with you all the time. How could you not have seen her?” Joanna did not believe Zachary’s

explanation. Zachary was a little exasperated, and his tone became unfriendly. “Please, she’s an adult and can go

wherever she wants. Can I control her?

“She’s your sister. She’s missing, and you’re asking me for her whereabouts? How ridiculous. You can only blame

yourself for not taking good care of her.”

Joanna froze for a moment, and her tone was no longer polite. “Mr. Garcia, I’ve called the police. I believe the

police will soon intervene in the investigation. I hope you’re telling the truth”

“Go ahead! Even if I go to the police station, I’ll give the same answer.” Zachary pretended to be calm, but he

panicked in his heart.

He kept thinking about whether there was any key evidence that he had missed.

He hoped that no one would find Roxanne’s body.

“There’s one more thing I want to ask you, Mr. Garcia.”

“What is it?”

Joanna crossed her arms and stared at Zachary coldly. “Miss Garcia came to me just now and said a lot of strange

things to me.”

Zachary’s eyes widened as he looked at Joanna warily.

“What did she tell you?”

“She asked me to leave Bruce, saying that she had a way to get Bruce out.”

“So, I want to ask, do you know the method she mentioned?”

Zachary frowned. “Did she really say that to you?”

“That’s right. Miss Garcia said that you have a way to save Bruce. So I’d like to ask you what exactly it is.” Joanna

deliberately tricked Zachary,

The corners of Zachary’s lips twitched. He replied angrily, “Are you kidding me? I’m not a judge. What can I do?”

“Then why is Miss Garcia so sure that she has a way to save Bruce?”

“That’s her business, and you should ask her. How can I know her inner thoughts?” Zachary’s eyes glinted with a

hint of guilty.

A mixture of anger, hatred, and helplessness appeared in his heart.

He thought, “Jennie has indeed gone crazy. How could she go to Joanna? Wasn’t she exposing herself?

“Was she afraid that others would be unaware that I was the one who schemed against Bruce behind the scene?”

“I have something urgent to deal with. Let’s talk another day,” Zachary said resentfully and was eager to leave.

Zachary’s bodyguards also came.

Joanna guessed that Bruce’s accident was definitely related to Zachary,

However, Bruce was still in the detention center. She could not fall out with Zachary for the time being.

Zachary got into the car and left in a hurry.

Tatiana glanced at Joanna. “Miss Haynes, let’s go back.”

Joanna let out a breath and instructed a few bodyguards, “Continue to look for Roxanne these few days. If there’s

any news, let me know immediately.”

“Miss Haynes, don’t worry. We will try our best.”

Soon, both Derick and Joanna called the police.

The police began to file an investigation.

However, no one had found Roxanne’s body, and Zachary’s motive to murder couldn’t be proved.

The police could only treat it as an ordinary missing person case. They called Zachary to the police station to learn

the situation and then let him go back.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

Joanna went to work as usual.

As soon as she entered the office, Andy rushed over to report, “Miss Haynes, bad news!”

“What happened”

“The Green Bay Project has been halted. The construction site has been forcefully closed, and all the workers have

been dispersed

Joanna’s heart sank “How is that possible?”

“I heard that someone complamed that the approval for the Green Bay Project was not qualified. It was an illegal

construction and destroyed the ecological environment in Green Bay”

Joanna’s expression changed when she heard that “Call an emergency meeting immediately”

“Okay”

In the conference room, other shareholders had alto received the reset and all looked anxious.

A least a billion dollars was invested in the Green Bay Project. If the project seat stopped, they would suffer a great

low

“Miss Haynes, what should we do?

“How worrying. We have invested so much money in Green Bay Project 1 it’s suddenly stopped. The construction

site is

forcefully closed, and even the funds have been frozen”

“Everyone don’t be anxious Let’s look into the situation first”

“The approval clearly states that the construction of the Green Bay Project is qualified Why did someone suddenly

check the contract and said that the project would destroy the ecological comment) It is obvious that he is looking

for trouble”

“That’s right. Even the funds in our accounts have been frozen If the project is over, we’ll lose everything?”

The other shareholders assets naturally could not compare to Besser’s. They had invested almo all of their assets in

the Green Bay Project

They could not afford the potential losses.

The major shareholders were burning with anxiety

“I’ll go to Mossbourne tomorrow to find out more”

“The project has been suspended What’s the use of going to Mossla relevant departments in Mossbourne will be on

ammual leave” wout to be Christmas, and the

“It’s such a big project We’ll losr hundreds of thousands of dollars a day if it is stopped. How can we cover the loses

Two shareholders complained.

They did not have much money, unlike Bruce who and didn’t have to care about the lona.

Most of the shareholders took out a loan from the bank and borrowed investment funds from somewhere else. So,

just a day’s interest was enough to make them anxious

Now that the project had stopped there were

were not any profits, and they were naturally flustered

“Everyone calm down. Since there’s a problem, we have to think of a way to solve it.”

Liam’s face turned gloomy as he said. “You’re now the chairman of the Everett Group You have to quickly think of a

way to cover the current losses”

“That’s right As the leader, Miss Haynes, you have to bear all the responsibility and losses” The shareholders all

began to Target Joanna

Joanna frowned, and she could only comfort others first. “Don’t worry I will bear all the losses during the

suspension.”

When the shareholders heard that, they were all relieved.

“Then it’s sefiled. All losses and expenses during the shutdown will be covered by Miss Haynes”

Joanna did not say anything else After saying that the meeting was over, she left the conference room

Now, others were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, hoping that she wouldn’t be able to withstand the

pressure and Take the initiative to give up the position of president.

However, the more pressure she faced, the more strong–minded Joanna would be. She had no intention of giving

up and fulfilling their wishes.

No matter what happened, she had to hold on until Bruce was released from prison.

After work Joanna went back to Sherane Bay Villa

The children were busy in the living room, their faces stained with flour.

“Momo, you’re back”

Joanna put down her bag and looked at her children in shock. “What are you doing?”

Irvin replied happily, “We’re helping Miranda make a roasted turkey!”

“Roasted turkeys?” Joanna was stunned.

Miranda walked out of the kitchen with a plate of flour. “Joann, it’s only several days before Christmas Eve, and I

think we can prepare a roasted turkey in advance to kill time. My family usually did so.”

Miranda was from a big family, and she and her family enjoyed gathering and cooking together during festivals.
