The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 144

In the past month, Joanna had been most afraid of running into reporters.

Although she hid every day, she still came across reporters from time to time.

It made her look like a thief when she went out now.

“Sorry, no comment!” she said.

A media reporter quickly extended a microphone to Jaydon. “Mr. Grimm, may I ask when your movie

will be released?

Besides, someone reported your media company for tax evasion. Is that true?”

Jaydon’s face darkened. He looked straight at the cameras and said, “Our company has never evaded

taxes. The tax bureau is welcome to investigate at any time.”

“So when are you and Ms. Haynes getting married?” the reporter asked again.

“What do you think about the relationship between Ms. Haynes and Mr. Everett?”

“Have you always been protecting Ms. Haynes?”

The questions asked by the reporters were getting more and more harsh.

“Get out of the way! Don’t ask me such boring questions!”

Jaydon was greatly infuriated. He protected Joanna and squeezed out of the crowd.

“Mr. Grimm, Ms. Haynes, please give us some responses!”

The two of them hurried into the parking lot, got into the car, and fled.

In the car,

Joanna could not help but tease, “Hah, now we are just like street rats.” She was already used to being

slandered by brain-dead people.

“Just ignore these delinquent reporters.

“Leave the public relations matters to me!” responded Jaydon.

“All right.”

“Where do you want to go now?”

“Well, I feel suffocated in Greyport.

“I want to go to the beach now,” replied Joanna.

“Alright! Let’s go to the sea then,” said Jaydon.

“Okay.”

Jaydon did not say anything else. He turned the car around and drove toward the dock.

His yacht was parked at the dock. Usually, when he had nothing to do, he would drive his yacht out to

the sea for a ride.

Soon, he piloted the yacht out to sea.

Joanna stood on the deck and breathed in the sea breeze. Her depression finally dissipated a lot.

Jaydon gently hugged her from behind, and they just looked like the male and female leads of the

Titanic.

“Joann, since everyone thinks that we’re together, why don’t you just be my girlfriend?” Jaydon said

half seriously and half jokingly

“Jay, stop fooling around!” Joanna turned around and broke free from his embrace.

Jaydon gazed at her with affection. “Joann, do you really not have any feelings for me?”

When Joanna heard this, she could not help but feel nervous. “Jay, can you stop being like this?

“Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”

Seeing Joanna’s uneasy expression, Jaydon quickly took a step back and distanced himself from her.

“Joann, I’m sorry. Don’t be so nervous!”

“Jay, I’m really sorry. I…”

Seeing the change in Joanna’s expression, Jaydon stopped what he was going to do.

“I’m just joking with you. Look how nervous you are!” He suddenly changed the topic.

The biggest difference between Jaydon and Bruce was that Jaydon respected Joanna very much and

cared about her feelings.

As long as she resisted, Jaydon would never force her.

Bruce, on the other hand, was totally different from Jaydon. The more Joanna resisted, the more Bruce

wanted to conquer her.

“Jay, I know you’re very good to me, but I….” Joanna’s eyes were filled with panic. She wanted to say

something but hesitated.

She really didn’t know what to say.

She had three children as her burden. If she rejected a man like Jaydon, it would really seem like she

was being ungrateful.

However, she was well aware that she and Jaydon could never be together.

Jaydon was a play boy. Even if he married her, it was impossible for him to be faithful to her.

Besides, Joanna was an extremely insecure person. After divorcing Bruce, she completely lost her

sense of security in marriage and her confidence in

men.

She did not want to be hurt by love a second time. She would rather shut love out of her mind.

“It’s alright. I won’t do such a thing again unless you take the initiative to accept me. I won’t force you

anymore.”

When Joanna heard this, she did not say anything else, but just turned around and stared blankly at

the blue seawater.

That night, photos of Jayden and Joanna having a meal on a date were posted online.

In the photo, Jaydon was desperately protecting Joanna. He blocked most of the shots for Joanna and

even scolded the reporters.

It seemed as if he were an extremely good boyfriend.

“After Joanna failed to seduce her ex-husband, she threw herself in her old lover’s arms.”

“The contemporary scheming woman teaches you how to h o ok up with men.”

“Joanna’s two-timing. She became a laughing stock after her affair was exposed.”

“Mr. Grimm is willing to be a keyboard warrior for her and doesn’t mind Joanna’s past.”

There were all kinds of negative news about Joanna and Jaydon on the Internet.

Joanna didn’t even dare to turn on her phone.

The moment she turned it on, she found that all the platforms were reporting her news.

The internet exposure this time was even more serious than six years ago.

She had completely been known as a contemporary scheming b itch.

The next day, Joanna and Jaydon went to Porash in the morning. Cora and two marketing managers

went with them.

Joanna was in a difficult position now.

Mossbourne’s factory had already been set up and the funds had already been invested. It was

impossible to give up now.

Besides, Joanna also planned to focus on Mossbourne’s market and try to distance herself from Bruce.

At 9 a.m., the company’s employees arrived at the Haynes Group one after another.

Bruce also came aggressively.

“Hi, Mr. Everett!” Everyone was shocked when they saw Bruce.

Mr. Everett had not come to the Haynes Group for a month. They wondered why he came today. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Bruce entered the conference room.

All the senior executives had arrived, except for Joanna.

“Where is Joanna?”

Luna quickly got up and reported, “Miss Haynes didn’t come to the company today.”

Bruce frowned when he heard this. “Why is she absent from work again?”

“Miss Haynes has gone to Mossbourne.”

“When will she be back?” Bruce questioned.

“Maybe in a week.”

“In a week?” After Bruce heard this, he frowned even more.

“Yes, Miss Haynes said that she would stay at Mossbourne this week. I’ll be in charge of conveying the

work arrangements.”

When Bruce heard this, he did not say anything else. He turned around and left without looking back.

“Mr. Everett hasn’t come to the company for so long. Why is he here today?”

“He must be here to look for Miss Haynes.”

“Judging from Mr. Everett’s expression, he must be here to stir up

trouble.”

“That’s right. Fortunately, Miss Haynes isn’t here,”

“What are Miss Haynes and Mr. Everett quarreling about?”

“Who knows?”

“Now, the Skywinds Group and the Neorace Group have canceled their orders. It’s normal for Miss

Haynes to get anxious and fall out with Mr. Everett.”

“Do you think Mr. Everett is behind this?”

“I don’t think so. He also has shares in the Haynes Group. What could he get if he played tricks behind

it?”

“He only has so few shares of the Haynes Groop. It’s definitely not as good as gobbling it up.”

“Stop making wild guesses and do your job!”

The employees were discussing among themselves again.

Bruce, of course, read yesterday’s news, too.

Knowing that Joanna had gone to meet Jaydon again after leaving the Everett Cooperation,

Bruce was so furious that his blood boiled with anger.

Therefore, he came over early in the morning to denounce Joanna.

However, Joanna went to Mossbourne again.

Needless to say, she must be trying to avoid meeting Bruce because she knew that he would not let

the matter rest.

“Andy, find out where Joanna is right now.”

“Yes, Mr. Everett.”

Three minutes later,

Andy found Joanna’s location. “Miss Haynes is at her factory in Mossbourne now. This is her current

location.”

Bruce’s face darkened. “Let’s go to Porash right now!”

“Now?”

“Yes, right now! Don’t make me repeat myself!”

“Alright, Mr. Everett!” Andy did not dare to say anything else.

Bruce’s face was extremely sullen. He sounded like he was in a bad mood today.

Beep, beep.

Just then, Bruce’s phone rang.

Bruce took out his phone and looked at it. The call was from Roxanne.

After Roxanne was discharged from the hospital, she moved to the Sherane Bay Villa.

And because Bruce felt guilty, he would go back and accompany her every day.

However, he did not go back because he was too angry last night.

“Hey, Bruce!”

“Roxy, what’s up?”

“Nothing. I just miss you.” Roxanne’s voice was soft and weak, revealing a hint of melancholy.

“Are you coming back tonight?” she asked.

“Sorry. I’m busy now.” Bruce frowned.

He did not know how to answer her. He planned to go to Porash to look for Joanna, and he might not

be back tonight.

Roxanne could hear the hesitation in his voice, and she said in a choked voice, “Bruce, you didn’t come

back last night. Are you not coming back today,

either?”
