Chapter 77
Bruce’s voice was not loud, but it exuded a pressure that made people breathless.
Ingrid’s face turned pale. She pursed her lips as a look of discomfort crept up her face.
To put it bluntly, she dared not ask if Bruce went out to find other women.
Given the current situation, it would already be a miracle if Bruce went ahead and married Roxanne as
scheduled.
If Bruce canceled the wedding, their family would really become the laughingstock of Greyport!
Ingrid dared to cause trouble for Joanna, but not Bruce.
“Bruce, that’s not what I meant!”
Bruce crossed his long legs and leaned against the sofa with a deep frown. “Then what did you
mean?”
Ingrid quickly thought and answered, “I meant you’re about to get married. So you should spend more
time with Roxy!
“Why do you keep finding Joanna when you are free? People will gossip!”
Bruce sneered. His hawk–like eyes blinked, and a menacing aura flowed from him. “Who’s gossiping?
What gossip?”
“Well… Didn’t you see the news online? Everyone is spreading nasty gossip!”
“Does their gossip sound as nasty as your insults just now?”
Ingrid, choked and tongue–tied, replied, “No, Bruce, I was angry just now! So the words I spoke were
unpleasant.
“I just hope that everything is fine between you and Roxy. Roxy is simple–minded and can be stubborn
sometimes.
“You know what happened last time. Roxy almost lost her life! What if something like that happens
again?”
Bruce frowned and, without looking up, said. “You’re using the same trick again. It won’t work if you use
it too much!”
“Since I’ve agreed to marry Roxy, I won’t go back on my word!
“As for my personal matters, I don’t want anyone to interfere!”
Feeling like her heart was in her throat, Ingrid gulped. She was afraid of offending this wealthy son–in–
law of hers.
“I didn’t mean to interfere in your personal matters. It’s just that…”
Before Ingrid could finish her sentence, Bruce stood up. I’m working now. If you have nothing else to
say, hurry up and return home.
“If you dare return to the Haynes Group and cause trouble for Joanna again, I’ll make sure the Haynes
family regrets it.”
Ingrid’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
Bruce was increasingly disdainful of them.
However, besides swallowing her anger, Ingrid could not do anything else.
The other women quickly pulled Ingrid out. “Let’s go! Let’s go back first!”
Ingrid was choked with anger. Her eyes were like knives as she viciously glared at Joanna.
“Joanna, you’re Roxanne’s elder sister. No matter what, you should know your limits. Don’t constantly
think about taking
your sister’s things for yourself
“I don’t dare to control you, but your father has heart disease and high blood pressure. If anything
happens to him, you’ll regret it!”
Ingrid turned around angrily and left after she finished speaking.
The five women had just reached the elevator when the elevator door happened to open.
Jaydon hurried out of the elevator.
Ingrid became even more furious when she saw Jaydon. “Mr. Grimm, you’re finally here!
“Hurry up and
get a grip on your girlfriend. Don’t let her go around seducing other people’s men!
“Don’t you feel cuckolded?”
Jaydon’s handsome face instantly darkened when he heard this. He ignored Ingrid and hurriedly
walked toward Joanna’s
office.
The employees were still watching the spectacle unfold and were whispering to each other. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Wow, Mr. Grimm is here too! Something exciting is going to unfold!”
“Do
you think Mr. Grimm and Mr. Everett will fight when they meet?”
“It’s possible. Wow, wow, wow! It’ll be like watching two titans fighting!”
“It’s so lively in the office today! We’ve been blessed with so much drama recently!”
Cora reprimanded the employees with a cold expression when she heard this. “Go back to your jobs
and stop gawking!
“Whoever continues gossiping will be punished!”
When they heard this, the employees did not dare to gossip anymore and quickly returned to their work
cubicles.
There were more than a thousand employees in the Haynes Group.
Even the office workers in the same office building as Joanna amounted to a few dozen.
Meanwhile, in the office.
Joann, everything’s fine! I’ve already warned Ingrid. She won’t dare to cause trouble again!”
Joanna leaned against the desk and weakly ran her fingers through her hair. “Bruce, my heart is
weary.
“Can you stay away from me?”
Bruce took her by the shoulders and nuzzled his chin against her hair. “I’ll look after you no matter what
happens. What else are you worried about?”
Joanna suddenly raised her head and screamed at the top of her lungs, “I simply don’t want anything to
do with you now, do you understand?”
Bruce looked back at her calmly. After a few seconds, he answered, “I know you still love me. Why do
you have to reject me like this?
“If you’re trying to play hard to get, it won’t work on me.”
Joanna became even more furious when she heard this and slammed her fists on the table several
times. “I don’t love you. I haven’t loved you for a long time now! Since the day of our divorce, I have
stopped loving you!
I’m begging you, stop being so narcissistic!”
“If you don’t love me, you wouldn’t have had such a big reaction to me when I touched you!
“Your body can’t fool anyone!”
Joanna was so enraged when she heard this that her entire body trembled. A difficult and cruel man
like Bruce would never stop until he achieved his goal.
No woman could remain calm when being pestered by a man like him.
You crazy bastard! Stop talking!”
“Joanna, stop lying to yourself!” After saying that, Bruce wrapped his arms tightly around her waist
again.
“Let go of me, don’t touch me…”
The two were entangled in a scuffle when the office door was pushed open again.
“Joann!” Jaydon was stunned when he saw the scene before him.
Joanna turned around and saw that it was Jaydon. Her face turned even paler. “Jay, why are you
here?”
Joanna struggled violently against Bruce after saying that. Unfortunately, he had firmly trapped her in
his arms.
She could not break free at all.
“Hmph! Jaydon, what are you doing here?” Bruce sneered and left the tableside.
Like an eagle with a chick in its claws, he pulled Joanna along with him in his arms.
“Bruce, let go of Joann!”
Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Jaydon cruelly. “I’ve told you before. If you continue to
pester Joanna, I won’t remain polite!”
Jaydon walked over to them with a cold expression on his face. “Let go of her quickly! Otherwise, I
won’t remain polite too!”
“Joanna has already slept with me and agreed to be my woman! Are you sure you still want to fight with
me for her?”
“Joann, is it true?”
Joanna gasped and closed her eyes in agony.
“Bruce, that’s enough! I’ve had enough of you!
“I’m telling you now that the person I love is Jay! The children are also Jay’s! It’s up to you whether you
believe it or not!”
Bruce’s eyes turned cold when he heard this. “I don’t believe you.”
“Jay and I were childhood sweethearts, We’ve been in love for a long time, and he’s a hundred times
better than you!”
Joanna could only lie to Bruce as she did not want him to continue pestering her.
