The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 526

After leaving the detention center, Joanna was still in low spirits.

She was used to Bruce being by her side.

She was a little unaccustomed to the fact that he was suddenly locked up.

“Miss Haynes, are we going back to Sherane Bay Villa now?” Kody asked.

“Yes, but I want to go to Skyluxe Mall first. I have to buy something.” Joanna said.

“Will do,” said Kody.

He started the car again and drove to Skyluxe Mall.

This was the most luxurious shopping mall in Greyport. It sold high–end goods and food.

The children loved the cakes here.

It was almost Christmas, so Joanna had to buy some Christmas goods. She also had to buy some gifts for the

children. Fifteen minutes later, Kody stopped the car at the entrance of Skyluxe Mall.

Joanna got out of the car. As she intended to do some shopping, Joanna did not want too many people to follow her.

Therefore, she only brought Tatiana and Andy. The rest waited outside for her.

She had just entered the mall and had not shopped for long when a man wearing a mink trench coat approached

her.

He said. “Oh! Miss Haynes, is that you?

“Long time no see! You’re in the mood for shopping today?”

Joanna turned around and saw that it was Marlowe.

Out of courtesy, Joanna greeted, “Hello, Mr. Yanice.”

Marlowe’s eyes were filled with mischief. “What a coincidence meeting you here! Looks like there is a fated affinity

between.

Joanna shrugged, at a complete loss for words.

This was the most high–end mall in Greyport. Wealthy people liked to shop here.

It was normal for them to meet here.

Joanna could not be bothered to deal with such a person and walked away.

Marlowe took a few steps after her. “Miss Haynes, don’t be in such a hurry to leave! Let’s have a chat! I’ll treat you

to coffee.”

Joanna narrowed her eyes and replied coldly, “Mr. Yanice, we aren’t on such close terms yet.”

“I just want to become friends with you! By interacting more, naturally, we’ll become friends,” Marlowe said.

“I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry,” Joanna said.

However, Marlowe kept following Joanna. He smiled craftily. “Mr. Everett is in jail now. I think you must be very

lonely, right?

“We’re all young people anyway. What’s wrong with making more friends? Besides, I’m in no way inferior to Bruce.”

When Joanna heard this, anger surged within her.

Marlowe was up to no good. Joanna could not believe that he dared tease her openly like this.

“Mr. Yanice/please move aside. I’m going shopping now!” Joanna said.

Seeing this, Tatiana and Andy also went forward to stop Marlowe. Both of them had dark expressions.

Joanna said, “Mr. Yanice, please show some respect. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Marlowe’s face darkened. He smiled coldly at Joanna. “Miss Haynes, don’t you want to know your sister’s

whereabouts?”

Joanna was about to leave, but when she heard his words, she immediately turned around.

“You’ve seen Roxanne? You know where she went?” Joanna asked.

Marlowe remarked, “Earlier, I said I wanted to treat you to a cup of coffee, but you had to reject me.”

Joanna said, “Mr. Yanice, my sister has been missing for several days. If you really saw her, please let me know!”

Marlowe chuckled. “Of course, I will, but aren’t you going to treat me to a cup of coffee?”

Joanna continued to press Marlowe for answers about Roxanne’s whereabouts. She did not stay mad at him

anymore. “Where on earth is Roxanne? Have you got her hidden away somewhere?”

Marlowe said, “What are you talking about? I’m very thirsty now. If you want to ask me about your sister’s

whereabouts, don’t you think you ought to treat me to a drink?”

Joanna froze before saying, “All right! There’s a cafe here. I’ll treat you to a drink here, Mr. Yanice.”

“That’s more like it, Marlowe said.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Andy coldly. “All of you, wait outside. Don’t disturb my conversation with Miss

Haynes.”

“Miss Haynes…” Andy said worriedly.

“It’s fine. You guys wait outside!” Joanna instructed.

This was a cafe. Joanna believed that Marlowe would not dare to try anything here.

Andy had no choice but to wait with Tatiana at the cafe’s entrance.

Joanna and Marlowe entered the cafe.

Most of the people here were couples or businessmen chatting. Hence, the booths were elegant and private.

Marlowe deliberately chose a corner booth.

“Where is my sister?” Joanna asked anxiously.

“You’re so direct. How unromantic of you!” Marlowe commented.

Joanna was seething with anger.

“I didn’t expect Bruce’s ex–wife to be so beautiful,” Marlowe added.

“Mr. Yanice, what do you mean by that?” Joanna said.

“Nothing at all. I’m just praising you for being beautiful! It’s really rare to see a natural beauty like you,” Marlowe

answered. Joanna snapped, “Where the hell is my sister? Please don’t beat around the bush! My patience is limited.

I don’t have time to chat with you.”

Marlowe said, “Gosh! We’ve barely spoken, so why are you angry?

“But I feel that the more bad–tempered a woman is, the more charming she becomes.”

“You’re out of your mind!” Joanna cursed and splashed coffee in Marlowe’s face. She stood up and wanted to leave.

“Who are you calling crazy?” Marlowe’s face turned cold instantly.

He was looking for trouble, to begin with.

“Let go of me! What do you want?” Joanna said.

Marlowe said. “Ms. Haynes, you’re so rude! I’m just complimenting you, why must you splash coffee on me?

“However, I like women with your personality. The more shrewish you are, the more likable you are. The fiercer you

are, the more charming you become. No wonder Mr. Everett likes you so much!”
