The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 126

Hearing Joanna’s words, Ingrid flared up again and shouted, “Did my son commit a crime? It’s pt up to you to judge!”

Shaun warned Ingrid, “Shut your mouth right now!”

Then Shaun said, “Joann, just forgive Rick this time. I’m begging you. If Rick goes to jail, how can he have a foothold in Greyport?

“Rick was in a moment of madness but learned his lesson. Please forgive him this time. I’m kneeling to beg you!”

Plop! As Shaun spoke, he really knelt in front of Joanna.

Joanna immediately said, “Dad, get up. Don’t do this.” Joanna felt disgusted and quickly looked away to avoid looking at Shaun.

Shaun continued, “If you refuse to forgive Rick, I will keep kneeling!” Then Shaun was about to kneel in front of Joanna again.

Joanna was annoyed and frustrated. Joanna immediately held Shaun up and said, “Dad, please. Stop it.”

“Shaun’s eyes turned red, and tears rolled down his chubby cheeks. Shaun said in a muffled voice, ““Joarin, Rick is your brother! You can’t be so heartless as to send him to jail!”

When speaking, Shaun held his chest and took a few deep breaths. It looked like Shaun could not catch his breath.

Ingrid shouted, “Your father has a heart disease. Take out his pills!”

Hearing Ingrid’s order, Roxanne replied, “Got it! Got it!” Then Roxanne hurriedly took out a bottle of pills from Shaun’s pocket.

Roxanne put several pills into Shaun’s mouth. After that, Shaun took a while to recover and finally could breathe again.

Roxanne cried as she patted Shaun’s heart, “Dad, how do you feel now?”

Joanna stood by the side nervously and asked, “Dad, are you alright?”

Ingrid rebuked Joanna in a high–pitched voice, “Hmph, your father has heart disease and high blood pressure. Are you trying to kill your father with your stubborn attitude and harsh words?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Shaun rolled his eyes and warned Ingrid, “Just keep silent!”

Ingrid snorted, “Hmph!”

Shaun took another deep breath and looked at Joanna pitifully, saying, “Joann…”

Joanna closed her eyes and let out a breath. Then Joanna interrupted Shaun, “Dad, enough. Stop talking”

“I can cut Derick some slack but I need a written guarantee from him.”

“What guarantee?” asked Shaun.

Joanna replied, “Derick needs to write down the entire process of his crime and sign the document. If

Derick dares to hurt my son again, I’ll give the evidence to the police.”

Shaun paused for a few seconds. Then he agreed and said, “Okay, okay. I’ll get Rick to write it now!”

Joanna continued, “Also, Derick needs to go to Irvin’s bed and apologize to Irvin.”

“No problem! Rick will do it,” said Shaun.

Soon, Derick wrote a guarantee and went to Irvin’s bed.

Derick bowed and apologized to Irvin, saying, “I’m so sorry! It’s all my fault. Please forgive me!”

10:43 Sat,

Ingrid interrupted, “Enough. Enough! Rick, you’ve completed it. Save some dignity.

“Rick, let’s leave here.”

When speaking, Ingrid hurriedly went forward to hold Derick. Then Derick hobbled out of the ward.

Derick was seriously injured but did not dare to stay in this hospital for treatment. Shaun and Ingrid

hurriedly brought Derick to another hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Ingrid was in distress. She checked Derick’s wounds and said, “You are

such a silly boy. Even if you wanted to do it, you didn’t have to do it yourself! Look at you. You’re so

stupid!”

Then Ingrid suddenly cried, “Oh my, who burnt you? You’re scalded.”

Derick was angry and scared. He said with lingering fear, “Who else could it be? It was that bastard

Bruce Everett. He burnt me with his own hands. Bruce is not my brother–in–law. I don’t want to see

Bruce as a member of our family.

“I wouldn’t have gone down like this if it was not because of Bruce! No one would know I did it!”

Ingrid cried, “Mr. Everett? How could he do that to you? You’re Mr. Everett’s brother–in–law. No, I can’t

believe it. I’ll ask Mr. Everett about that by myself one day.”

“Does it hurt?” asked Ingrid.

“How can it not hurt?” replied Derick.

Ingrid gritted her teeth and said, “Aww, my sweetheart. My heart aches so much. It’s all Joanna’s fault!

Don’t worry. I’ll avenge you!”

Hearing Ingrid’s words, Shaun was angrier and said, “Enough, Ingrid. Stop saying such words. The

reason why Rick did such a crazy thing is because you always spoil him!”

“How am I spoiling Rick?” said Ingrid.

Shaun continued, “You can’t always protect Rick. If you keep spoiling Rick, you’re turning him into a

loser, and he will do more crazy things!”

Ingrid retorted, “How am I spoiling Rick? In the end, it’s all because of that bitch Joannal”

Shaun was so angry that his lips were trembling.

Sadly, Shaun had never won a fight with Ingrid. Shaun said, “You have been unaware of your mistake

until now!

“You and your son are incurable!”

Ingrid retorted, “Hmph! You’re the incurable one!”

After finishing her words, Ingrid finally realized Roxanne was not in the car. Thus, Ingrid asked,

“Where’s Roxy?”

Ingrid and Shaun only focused on sending Derick to another hospital and did not even notice that

Roxanne did not get into the car.

Shaun replied, “Roxy probably is with Mr. Everett if she doesn’t get in the car.”

Speaking of Bruce, Ingrid was furious.

Ingrid said, “Unbelievable. Bruce picked the side with an outsider. He’s always on Joanna’s side!

“Shaun, that’s all because of your good daughter Joanna. She’s seducing Bruce. I think Bruce and

Roxy’s marriage is going to be ruined again.”

Shaun replied, “It would be better they don’t get married since Mr. Everett’s heart isn’t on Roxy.”

Ingrid retorted, “That’s easy for you to say! Roxy will become a joke in Greyport if Roxy fails to get married to Bruce.

“Besides, Bruce is the richest man in Greyport. No one can compete with Bruce in Greyport. If we give up Bruce, can we find a better one for Roxy?”

Sat, 24 Jun

“You can’t measure a marriage like this,” said Shaun.

Ingrid insisted, “I don’t care. Roxy must get married to Mr. Everett and become one of the Evereemily

Shaun sighed and said, “You! Sadly, I can’t win the fight with you.” Shaun looked away, still arigry but not knowing what to say to Ingrid.

In the Hospital, Joanna stood beside Irvin’s bed. She did not want to leave for a moment.

Irvin was still in a coma.

Irvin was frightened, and a doctor injected a sedative for him. Thus, Irvin was sleeping soundly.

Joanna caressed Irvin’s little face from time to time. Her eyes were filled with maternal love.

Bruce also stood by the side and watched Joanna and Irvin silently.

It had already been half an hour, and Joanna had not spoken a word to Bruce. Joanna only focused on looking at her son.

This made Bruce upset. Bruce controlled himself for a while. Eventually, he couldn’t help speaking first, “Irvin is alright now. He’ll recover after resting for a few days.”

Hearing this, Joanna looked up at Bruce. Then, Joanna lowered her eyes and stared at Irvin again.

Bruce thought that Joanna was going to say something to him. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Joanna was still silent.

Bruce thought, “I saved Joanna’s son! I should be a hero.

“Why didn’t Joanna say thank you?

“I’m pissed off at Joanna. She doesn’t even thank me, even though I have saved her son.”

Then Bruce cleared his throat, asking, “Do you have anything to say to me?”

Joanna was speechless, lapking at Bruce in confusion.
