Chapter 90
At ten o’clock at night in the hospital.
Ingrid and Roxanne rushed over hurriedly.
Margaret had just woken up, and Bruce was accompanying her in the ward.
Then the ward door was pushed open and Ingrid and Roxanne walked in.
“Bruce, how’s Mrs. Everett?”
Seeing these two come in just like that, Bruce frowned. “Why are you here?”
Ingrid walked towards the bed and placed a fruit basket by the head of the bed. “I just called the butler and he said that Mrs. Everett is sick, which really scared our entire family! After we heard the news, we immediately came here in a hurry.
“Mrs. Everett, how are you?” Ingrid greeted Margaret with concern and acted like she was really her in– law without even an ounce of awkwardness even though Bruce had just run away from the engagement banquet.
However, as long as they did not announce the annulment of the engagement in public, she would still act like Bruce and Roxanne had really got engaged.
“Grandma had just woken up and she can’t be agitated. You two should leave now.”
“Oh, then Mrs. Everett, have a good rest and get well soon.”
“Bruce, let Roxy stay here to take care of Mrs. Everett with you.”
Roxanne hurriedly walked to the bed. Before she could say anything, tears streamed down her cheeks. “Bruce, Grandma, it’s all my fault. I’m the reason why Grandma is hospitalized.”
“You guys just go home. I got this.”
“How can we do that? Grandma is sick. How can I not be by her side? No matter what, I have to wait for Grandma to recover
before I can be at ease!”
“That’s right, Mrs. Everett is sick. As her granddaughter–in–law, how can she not take care of her?”
Bruce frowned and let them be.
After all, they were in the hospital now. He did not want to agitate his grandmother anymore.
No matter what, he had to wait for Grandma to recover before he could discuss with Roxanne about breaking off the
engagement.
The next day.
The internet was in an uproar again.
“Oh my god, the engagement between Mr. Everett and Miss Roxanne has been postponed again!”
“What happened this time?”
“I heard that Miss Haynes retaliated and posted a video at the engagement party.”
“It turns out that six years ago, Miss Haynes did not take the initiative to seduce Mr. Everett. Instead, she was framed.”
“Huh? That happened?”
“How can this be a set–up? Aren’t you going to let her put on such a big show?”
“I don’t think so! If it was really just a show, it should have been exposed six years ago. Why did it only be exposed now?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Are you stupid? She married into the Everett family six years ago. Was there even a need for her to make a fuss? Now that she’s been kicked out of the family. In order to return to the Everett family, she had no choice but to expose the video and plead for justice.”
“Phew, this feud between these ladies is really tiring!”
The netizens were all discussing the engagement banquet.
However, no matter how they spread the news, netizens still thought that Joanna could not get over Bruce and now she was just trying to break up Bruce and Roxanne again.
In the afternoon.
Joanna was busy working in the company when Jaydon called. “Hello, Joann, what are you doing?”
“I’m at the office. What’s the matter?”
“Did you see today’s news?”
Joanna was stunned. “What news?” She was too busy with work to surf the Internet.
“It’s about Bruce’s engagement banquet. It’s all over the Internet again.”
“Oh. Joanna replied coldly, not wanting to say anything more.
Even though she had not watched the news, she could already guess what was being said online.
Therefore, she might as well not check what they were saying.
“So what are you going to do?”
“I don’t care, they can say whatever they want.”
Jaydon pondered for a few seconds. “Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“Okay.”
“My company is going to shoot a children’s public service advertisement. Can you lend me your kids?”
Joanna was stunned.
Then, she rejected him immediately. “No way! I don’t want the kids out in the open!”
“What’s the big deal? They’ve already been exposed. We might as well go all the way!
“This advertisement is a public service film that announces positive energy!”
Joanna was still unwilling to agree. “No, they’re already getting enough attention now…”
“It’s nothing. Besides, this advertisement is a public service film. It can help establish the image of the Haynes Group.”
“Hmm, what kind of charity film is it?”
“A public service advertisement that promotes environmental protection. Don’t worry, it’s not that kind of crappy advertisement.”
“Then I’ll think about it and discuss it with the kids to see if they agree.”

“Alright then. I’ll wait for the good news.”
At the weekend.
Joanna went to Venturas to pick up Davian and Irvin.
“Davian, Irvin, Mr. Grimm said that he wants to shoot a public service advertisement with you guys. Do you want to take part in it?”
“I’m not going!” Davian was more of an introvert, and he did not like to socialize. So he rejected her directly.
But Irvin was a cheerful and lively extrovert. “If we shoot the advertisement, does that mean we can become celebrities?”
“It’s just a public service advertisement to promote environmental protection.”
“Sure, I love taking pictures!”
“Alright then, I’ll call Mr. Grimm later.”
“Okay, Mommy.”
After Joanna returned home, she called Jaydon back.
“Hello, Jay.”
