The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1036

Joanna panicked and quickly answered the call. “Hello…”

Derick’s sloppy voice came from the other end of the

phone. “Hello, it’s me, Derick.”

Joanna’s heart tightened. She asked warily, “Why did you call me?”

Derick smiled cheekily and

said, “Hehehe, I’m your

younger brother. Isn’t it normal to call you?”

When Joanna heard this, her heart skipped a beat and her hair stood on end.

If she were to think about who

12:39 A

Chapter 1036

hated her the most in this

world, the answer would be

Ingrid and Derick.

95

He couldn’t wait to see her die.

Why would he call her?

He must be up to no good.

“What’s the matter?”

Derick snorted coldly and changed his usual unfriendly attitude, chuckled, and said, “What kind of a mother you

are? Do you know your children are missing?

“This time, you have to thank me properly. If not for me,

your two sons would have been

kidnapped by bad people.”

12:39 A Chapter 1036

“What? My children are with

you?” Joanna was instantly exasperated.

This bastard was indeed up to

no good.

If he dared to hurt her son again, she would definitely not let him off.

Hearing Joanna’s cold voice, Derick quickly explained, “Hey, don’t misunderstand me. I saved your two sons.

“If it wasn’t for me, they would have been kidnapped by bad people. Tell me, shouldn’t you thank me well?”

Joanna did not understand the situation. All she wanted to do

12:39 A Chapter 1036

95

LIED

now was to see the children as soon as possible and make sure

that they were safe. “Where are you now?”

“I’m at McDonald’s near

Rossinor Hotel with your two

boys.”

“Wait there. I’ll rush over

immediately.”

After hanging up, Joanna’s

heart was still beating wildly.

“Derick is at McDonald’s with

the kids.”

Jaydon immediately called his

subordinates.

“Orvin, lock down the hotel

immediately.

12:39 A Chapter 1036

“The children are at

Moll (95

McDonald’s now. Hurry up and

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

bring some people over. No

matter what, make sure the

children are safe.”

“At once, Mr. Grimm.”

The more Joanna thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. “Oh my god, what does this bastard want me to do to

the child?”

“Joann, don’t worry. Since the children didn’t leave the

Rossinor Hotel, there won’t be any danger. I’ve just informed my bodyguards. They’re

already on their

way.

“Don’t worry, Derick will never bring the children out.”

12:39 A Chapter 1036

When Joanna heard this, she ran her hand through her hair, feeling uneasy.

Ten minutes later.

Joanna and Jaydon rushed to

McDonald’s.

A few security guards had already guarded the entrance of McDonald’s.

Orvin and a few bodyguards also stood at the side.

Derick and the two little guys were sitting in the dining room, drinking Coke and eating fries.

“Davian, Irvin.” Joanna was

12:39 A

Chapter 1036

relieved when she saw her two

sons.

“Mommy.” The two little guys slid off the stool and ran over excitedly, throwing themselves into Joanna’s arms.

“How dare you sneak down? Didn’t I tell you to stay in the room obediently?”

The two little guys looked like they had done something wrong and said carefully, “We are sorry, Mommy. We got

bored in the room! So, we sneaked out and took a look.”

“You really need a reason, boys. Do you know how anxious I was just now? Kelly and Lilian were terrified.”

12:39 A Chapter 1036

“Sorry! We won’t do it next

time.”

“Next time?” Joanna was

furious. She raised her hand.

However, in the end, she couldn’t bear to really hit her

sons.

95

Jaydon also hurriedly shielded the two little guys behind him. “Alright, alright. As long as the children are fine, it’s

fine. Don’t

scold them.

“Let’s go! I’ll send you to your

room.”

When Joanna heard this, she pulled the two little guys and prepared to leave.

12:39 A

Chapter 1036

“Hey, hey, hey, hey, you’re leaving just like that?

“Hmph, have you forgotten about me, the kids‘ savior?” Derick refused to back down

and shamelessly tried to take credit for the situation.

95

Joanna came back to her senses and suddenly asked him, “Derick, why are you here?”

“Heh, why I am here? If I wasn’t

here today, believe it or not,

your two sons would be in danger.”

Joanna frowned and looked at

him in disgust.

Not believing her, Derick

became even more arrogant.

12:39 A Chapter 1036

“You still don’t believe me?

“If you don’t believe me, pull up the surveillance footage. There were two liars trying to kidnap your son just now.

95

“Fortunately, I bumped into them and saved your two sons. Otherwise, you won’t be able to see them again now.?”

Derick said sarcastically.

“Davian, Irvin, what happened just now?”

Davian said solemnly, “Oh, there were indeed two liars just now who said that we stole his

money and wanted to take us to the police station.

“Then, it was him… who chased

12:39 A

Chapter 1036

95

away the two liars.” The two little ones had never formally acknowledged Derick, nor did they know how to address

him.

Derick pouted and said, “Look, I’m not lying, am I?”

Joanna’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at him in disbelief.

In the past, he had thrown

Irvin into the reservoir and

almost killed Irvin.

Now, he actually saved her children?

How was this possible??

“Tell me! How do you want me

to thank you?”

When Derick heard this, he

12:39

Chapter 1036

scratched his head in

Yo (95)

embarrassment. “Yes, hehe.

Well, it’s easy.

“Give me something useful.”

In other words, he was asking Joanna to give him money.

When Joanna heard that, she felt even more annoyed.

“How much do you

you want?”

“Hehe, with your current net worth, you can’t be too stingy, right?

“I think 200 million dollars are enough. I don’t ask for a lot.”

When Joanna heard this, her eyes instantly widened.

12:39 A Chapter 1036

200 million dollars?

Was he treating her like an

ATM? How could he say

that?

Observing Joanna’s surprised

expression, Derick swiftly

adjusted his request once more. “Uh–huh, 100 million is fine too. Come on, you

95

wouldn’t feel sorry for such a small amount of money, right?

“The lives of your two sons are worth far more than this small sum of money. If they are kidnapped by criminals,

tsk, tsk, think about the

consequences. You won’t just be losing 100 million.”

Indeed.

12:39 A Chapter 1036

If the children were indeed

kidnapped by criminals, she wouldn’t hesitate to give up everything she had if that’s what the kidnapper demanded.

However, now that Derick had taken the opportunity to blackmail her, she felt upset.

“Are you short of money?”

Derick stood hunched over and spoke with a miserable expression, “Look at what you’re saying. Who would

complain about having too much money?”

Joanna rolled her eyes, feeling too uninterested to argue with him. “Stop dreaming. I won’t give you that much,”

she

14/19

12:39 A

Chapter 1036

replied firmly.

“Then how much can you give?” Derick quickly asked.

95

He was in dire need of money, and a group of creditors was relentlessly pursuing him to collect their debts.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered himself to save her

children.

Joanna did not speak. She only stared at Derick with hatred.

Although the Haynes family was not as rich as the Everett family, it was still a top–notch family in Greyport.

Despite not inheriting the

12:39 A

Chapter 1036

Haynes Group, when

Moll (95

combining the legacy he received along with Ryan and Roxanne’s share, Derick should have obtained at least over

20 million dollars. Additionally, the Haynes Group provided him with dividends of over 2 million dollars annually.

It was impossible for him to be short of money.

However, this scrawny man with sunken eyes and an unkempt beard that had not been shaved for days didn’t

resemble a wealthy individual in the slightest.

In the past, he had been idle. Now that no one was there to

12:40 A

Chapter 1036

M

95

control him, he was probably about to lose all his assets.

“I can only give you 200 thousand dollars. Take it or not,” Joanna said coldly.

When Derick heard this, he got mad. “What? 200 thousand dollars? Are you treating me a beggar?”

“If you don’t want it, forget it.”

Anyway, she wouldn’t give him that much money.

“Joanna, you’ve gone too far. If I had known this, I might have let

your sons be kidnapped,” Derick said, exasperated with her actions.

12:40 A Chapter 1036

He never expected Joanna to

be so stingy even though she was already so rich.

200 thousand dollars was

nothing to him.

95

Every time he visited Venturas, he would end up losing hundreds of thousands of

dollars. Unfortunately, this

time, luck was not on his side, and he lost more than 6 million dollars.

For four days and three nights, he gambled without ever taking a moment to sleep.

Not only that, he had a lot of lovers. He bought them cars and houses. Therefore, the money he inherited had been
