The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 56

“We’ll get married as soon as you’ve recovered,” Bruce said softly as he gently stroked the hair on

Roxanne’s checks.

“Okay” Roxanne could not stop crying.

“I almost died, but it was worth it!” she thought.

“Dad and I will head out first. You guys go ahead and have a nice talk.”

“Okay!”

As she exited the ward, Ingrid broke out into a smile that creased her face.

“Oh, thank goodness. Mr. Everett is finally marrying Roxy!”

“As soon as they get married, I’ll make sure I rub it in Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Roger, and the other’s faces!”

Shaun could not help but frown. “Look at you! Roxy almost died. How could you still be in the mood to

show off?”

“Well, the process was frightening, but we got a happy ending. I did not expect her to have some of my

old tricks up her sleeve. She sure pulled a cruel trick!”

Hearing this, Shaun sighed and shook his head.

After they found out about Roxanne, Derick and Ryan rushed to the hospital.

“Mom, Dad, how’s Roxanne?”

The duo was prepared to push the door and enter the ward as they spoke.

Ingrid quickly stopped them and said, “Don’t go in there. Roxanne is inside having a talk with Mr.

Everett! Don’t go in and disturb them!”

“Oh!”

“I have great news for you. Roxanne is finally getting married!”

Derick looked surprised. “Really?” he asked.

“Of course!”

Derick slapped his thigh in excitement and exclaimed, “That’s great!”

“Mom and Dad, I want a sports car!”

Ingrid felt very angry when she heard this. “Didn’t you just buy your Porsche last year? Why do you

want to buy another car?”

“Then, what about the bags you bought last year? Didn’t you buy more bags again this year?” “That’s

different! Do you know how much a bag costs? Now think about how much your car costs!” “Gosh,

Roxanne is already getting married to Mr. Everett. It’s only hundreds of thousands of dollars! All my

classmates have changed their cars to sports cars. I have my eyes on a Ferarri, so please just buy it

for me,” Derick begged as he shook Ingrid’s arm.

Ingrid pursed her lips and asked, “How much is it?”

“It was not expensive. It’s just a little more than 750 thousand dollars.”

“More than 750 thousand dollars? You’re truly the black sheep of the family!”

Chapter 56

“If you don’t buy it for me, I’ll go and ask Bruce for it! Since he has so many extravagant cars, I’ll just

ask him to give me one.”

Ingrid grabbed Derick and scolded angrily, “Stop right there, you brat. Don’t you dare embarrass us! Mr.

Everett has just proposed to your sister, so please don’t go to him and make demands. We’re better

than this. I’ll buy it for you when Roxanne gets married.”

“That’s a deal”

“Sure!”

“Thanks, Mom. I’m off then!”

Ryan cheekily gave Ingrid a kiss on her cheek and turned to leave.

I’m leaving too, then!”

With that. Ryan left together with Derick.

After they both had left, Ingrid let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, her expression darkened.

“Joanna, the little b itch. Did she deduct Rick and Ry’s pay? No money has been sent for two months!”

Shaun said dejectedly. “Don’t even mention her. She really is a pain. Not only did she cut off Rick and

Ry’s payroll, but she’s also stopped paying me too!”

Ingrid was even more indignant when she heard this. “I told you to just hold a press conference and

announce that you’re going to sever ties with her. We’ll see how she’ll be able to stay confident.”

“Wouldn’t it be worse to sever ties with her now? She’s running Haynes Group, so she can ask for

quarterly dividends”

“This is so irritating. We can’t just let her have her way. We must do something to stop her after Roxy

marries Mr. Everett.”

After Ingrid and Shaun exited the ward, Bruce suddenly felt self-conscious. He tried to make

conversation, so he asked, “Roxy, does it hurt?”

“Well, a little!”

“Never do such a stu pid thing again!”

“Okay”

“Just focus on your recovery. When you’re all better, we’ll just get married.”

“All right!”

With that, Bruce was suddenly at a loss for words.

Looking at the bandages on Roxanne’s wrists, his heart still felt heavy.

“You should rest. There’s a meeting in the company soon, so I’ll have to leave first.”

“Sure.”

Bruce pecked Roxanne’s forehead, got up, and left.

Ingrid could not wait to enter the ward after Bruce left. She removed the diamond ring from Roxanne’s

hand and put it on her own finger.

“Quickly, let me take a look at it! Wow! It’s got to be at least 20 carats! Gosh, a big diamond ring is just

so beautiful. Look at how shiny it is!”

“Mom!”

“Let me wear it for a couple of days just to feel good.”

Chapter 56

Bruce walked out of the hospital, distraught.

Just as he exited the hospital, a tall and thin young man ran to the hospital in a hurry.

The two brushed past each other, and the young man ran so fast that he bumped into Bruce.

“I’m sorry! So sorry!”

Bruce frowned and glared at the young man.

However, he could not be bothered by it since he was in a hurry.

The young man ran to the nurses’ station and asked anxiously, “Which ward is Miss Roxanne Haynes

in, please?”

Gavin was worried sick when he heard what had happened to Roxanne.

Disregarding the danger of being discovered, he rushed to the hospital just to visit her
