The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 93

At the hospital.

Margaret had been hospitalized for more than a week. Her condition had basically stabilized.

Today was the day of discharge from the hospital.

“Grandma, be careful!” Bruce said.

There were four healthcare workers and two family doctors taking care of Margaret.

However, Bruce was still not at ease. He personally helped Margaret onto the wheelchair.

Margaret’s speech was a little slurred because of the signs of a stroke. “It’s okay,” she said. “Don’t be

too nervous.”

“I’ll send you home, Grandma,” Bruce said.

“Alright!” Margaret‘ replied.

“Bruce, you’ve been in the hospital for so many days!” Margaret continued. “Work is more important.

You should go to the office tomorrow.”

“Grandma, I’ll take care of you for a few more days,” Bruce said. “Nothing is more important than your

health. I’ll go to the office after you recover completely.”

Margaret shook her head and said, “I really am fine. There are so many people looking after me. You

can’t neglect the work

in the office.

“Alright then,” Bruce said. “I’ll go to the office tomorrow.”

Margaret paused and sighed. Then, she said, “The engagement with Roxanne has to be arranged

properly. Don’t cause any more trouble!

“Many negative rumors regarding the Everett Group have spread!”

Bruce frowned and said, “Yes, I understand. Don’t worry, Grandma.”

After saying that. Bruce involuntarily turned his head to look out of the car window.

His grandmother was seriously ill now. He did not want her to be stressed again. As for the issue of

breaking off the engagement with Roxanne, he could only put it on hold for now.

The next day, as soon as Bruce returned to the Everett Group, his personal assistant Andy and

secretary Mark came up to him and said, “Mr. Everett, something bad has happened!”

“What is it?” Bruce asked.

“The deals with the Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group are gone!” they said.

Bruce’s face clouded over when he heard that. “What happened?” he asked.

“During Margaret’s hospitalization, you didn’t pick up the phone. It just so happened that a company

offered a profit margin that was 2 percent lower than that of the Everett Group.

“Therefore, these two companies collaborated with the other company.”

Bruce frowned even more after hearing this.

The Everett Group’s offer was the lowest price in the market, yet there was actually a company that

offered a price that was 2

percent lower than its offer.

This was disrupting the market trend. It was deemed unfair competition.

Moreover, these two companies had always worked exclusively with the Everett Group and could be

considered the two major clients of the Everett Group.

Losing these two deals would not cause a significant impact on the Everett Group. However, it was still

the leading enterprise in Greypori. Many industries, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation,

had been monopolized by the Everett Group in Greyport for a long time.

Now that someone was taking business away from the Everett Group, it meant that that person was

deliberately snatching meat from the Everett Group. Bruce naturally would not tolerate such a situation.

“Which company did the Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group work with?” Bruce asked.

Andy replied. “The Haynes Group.”

“The Haynes Group?” Bruce said. His eyes widened in surprise.

“Yes,” Andy said. “I heard that the contract was quickly signed yesterday.”

Bruce looked displeased. He felt intensely angry.

“No wonder these two companies dared to do this!” he thought.

They must have known about the relationship between Joanna and Bruce. That was why they dared to

give up on the Everett Group and choose the Haynes Group with more profits!

After all, the Everett Group and the Haynes Group were “related“. It was expected that the Everett

Group would not do anything to harm the Haynes Group.

At the Haynes Group.

Over the past few days, Joanna had been in a particularly good mood.

This was because she had successfully signed two large deals. The Haynes Group was getting more

and more stable.

“Today’s meeting is to announce some good news to everybody!” Joanna said.

Everyone cheered and applauded excitedly. They had already heard the good news in advance.

Joanna said, “The Haynes Group has successfully signed two big deals again!

“If we can complete the tasks this year, the year–end bonus will double…”

Joanna had just announced the good news, but no one had the chance to be happy.

“Bang!” There was a loud sound.

The door of the conference room was forcefully pushed open.

Cora and Luna followed behind and said in a panic, “Miss Haynes, Mr. Everett is here.”

Joanna was stunned.

While Joanna was still in shock, Bruce had already walked into the conference room in a gloomy

manner.

He was dressed in pure black today.

His well–tailored suit matched his height of nearly 6 feet and 3 inches. It highlighted his intimidating and

aggressive aura,

making people feel intimidated just by looking at him.

“Hi, Mr. Everett.”

“Mr. Everett is here?” Mr. Paul and Mr. Roger quickly stood up and greeted him.

Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly. “Oh, you people are in a meeting!” he said.

“That’s right.”

“Get out first!”

Everyone was stunned and left speechless.

Three seconds later, everyone hurriedly stood up. “Oh, okay!” they said.

Mr. Roger, Mr. Paul, and the other high–level executives quickly left the conference room. They did not

even have time to tidy up the things on the table.

Upon seeing this, Joanna’s face clouded over. “Bruce, what are you up to now?” she said.

Bruce sneered and gave Joanna a disdainful look. “Did the Haynes Group sign a contract with the

Neorace Group and the Skywinds Group?” he asked.

“That’s right!” Joanna said.

Bruce said, “Do you know that these two companies have always worked exclusively with the Everett

Group?

“The two deals you signed have also been negotiated with the Everett Group.”

Joanna was left speechless. She was stunned.

These two deals were indeed meant to be signed with the Everett Group.

The contracts had already been prepared.

However, because Margaret was hospitalized, Bruce had been accompanying her in the hospital.

As a result, these two contracts were not signed in time. Coincidentally, the Haynes Group offered a

price that was 2 percent lower than that offered by the Everett Group.

Therefore, the two companies changed sides at the last minute and signed a contract with the Haynes

Group.
