The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 25

The public’s attention had shifted from Joanna to a popular actress, Carmel Basil.

She was a new star in Jaydon’s company, and she won her first best actress award yesterday.

Besides, Carmel just announced she had a boyfriend who was an accomplished actor.

The news instantly rocked the whole Internet. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

It caught the public’s attention.

Actually, it was a marketing strategy masterminded by Jaydon.

Carmel was not in a relationship with that actor at all. The company hyped such a relationship to attract the public.

Also, they wanted to distract the public’s attention from Joanna.

Ingrid had been waiting to see Joanna’s scandal.

However, although she had spent a lot of money, it didn’t work at all.

“Mom, I told you. It doesn’t work.”

“Let me figure out another way to deal with her.”

Ingrid gnashed her teeth in hatred.

“Roxy, Mr. Everett will be back soon. Get ready to pick him up.”

“Remember to further your relationship.

You’ve been dating for so many years. It’s okay to be proactive and bold.”

“Are you still a virgin? It’s not a bad thing. This would make you more valuable.”

“Mom…” Roxanne felt a little embarrassed.

Actually, she was no longer a virgin.)

When she was in college, she once went to a summer camp with her classmates.

It was a crazy night for everyone.

A boy paid special attention to her, and he was also good at flirting.

He was a school hunk who was tall and handsome.

Stimulated by the alcohol, Roxanne failed to control herself and slept with him.

Since she had the first experience, she did it again and again.

The boy was very good at flirting.

She was titillated every time.

Until now, she still contacted that boy every month.

And then she would spend a crazy night with him.

However, that boy was poor.

He could give her nothing but physical pleasure.

Therefore, she would not marry him.

But as an adult, she had physical needs.

She tried to maintain a pure image before Bruce.

So she couldn’t casually allow him to touch her or let him feel she was not pure.

By contrast, she could enjoy the physical pleasure without any scruples when she was staying with that boy.

Since she pretended to be pure for too long, she was a little agitated. She needed to vent her feelings.

On this side.

Bruce dared not disobey his grandma, so he had to bite the bullet and ask Joanna for the child.

His grandma was his only family, and she was old. He was very filial to her.

No matter what she asked him to do, he would try his best to make her happy.

Since she wanted to see the child, he wouldn’t disappoint her.

In the early morning, Bruce directly went to the Haynes Group.

“Where is Joanna?”

“Miss Haynes hasn’t been in the office for several days.”

Bruce was a little surprised.

Then he took out his mobile phone to call her.

But he found he didn’t have her number.

Two years into their marriage, Joanna had always been the one who made the phone call.

And he disdained saving her number.

Now, four years had passed, and her number had already been wiped from the phone records.

But it seemed that he could still contact her through Facebook Messenger.

They had divorced four years ago, though.

He didn’t delete her in Messenger.

Sometimes, when a message came, he would hope it was from Joanna.

However, she never texted him once.

At first, he thought she could not live without him.

He thought she would continue to pester him after the divorce and use all kinds of methods to get

him back.

Only now had he discovered that this was not the case.

Joanna was actually a very proud person.

Bruce’s face darkened, and he found her Messenger account.

Her profile photo was still the same as before. It was a picture she took when she was in high school.

She was beautiful and energetic at that time. Her eyes were like bright stars.

People would be amazed when they saw them.

It was a pity that he couldn’t see her eyes shining like stars anymore.

Bruce hesitated for a few minutes and then typed “Hello“.

It was the first time he had reached out to her.

After the message was sent, he gave a dry cough to hide his embarrassment.

As an arrogant and paranoid man. Bruce was unlikely to admit his care about others.

An hour passed.

Bruce still hadn’t received her reply. His face darkened. Being ignored by Joanna really hurt his pride.

He thought, “How dare this woman not reply to me!”

“We need to talk.”

Bruce sent a second message in anger.

After waiting for a long time, he still didn’t receive her reply.

Now, things got worse.

Bruce was completed irradiated.

His face was dark and grim. He involuntarily loosened his tie and smoked several cigarettes.

“Andy, inform the Haynes Group. Tomorrow we will hold a general meeting of stockholders. All the shareholders must be present.”

Actually, he didn’t care whether Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul came or not. He just wanted to see Joanna.

“Yes, sir.”

Since he couldn’t see her in private, he planned to meet her in the company.

He thought she dared not miss the shareholders‘ meeting.

The next day.

Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul arrived at the company early.

Although Bruce was not the chairman of the board, his words were much more powerful than Joanna’s.

They could overlook Joanna’s words but dared not disobey Bruce.

“Good morning, Mr. Everett.”

The meeting was set for nine o’clock.

Bruce arrived at the lobby ten minutes earlier..

After a while, Joanna finally came.

She wore a black Dior suit with a skirt and white shirt today.

As her hair was casually tied in a low ponytail, she looked cool and chilly with a pair of black rimmed glasses.

She walked fast and looked sassy.

Joanna’s personal assistant Cora followed her. They walked one by one toward the elevator.

Seeing Joanna come, Bruce immediately caught up with her.

He acted as if he had just arrived and met her by accident.

“Joanna.”

Joanna looked back and said, “Mr. Everett.”

“You’ve been missing for days. I thought you were dead.”

Bruce said sarcastically.

Then he calmed himself and felt a little regret.

That was not what he thought.

He grew up with everyone sucking up to him.

He had a powerful family, and he was also capable.

Therefore, his temper wouldn’t be too good.

Joanna rolled her eyes and didn’t want to answer him.

Bruce asked, “Yesterday, I sent you a message on Facebook Messenger. Why didn’t you reply?”

Joanna was confused.

“I didn’t receive it.”

“Really? You didn’t receive it, or you just don’t want to reply.”

“Oh, I don’t use my previous account anymore.”

Bruce was speechless. He said sarcastically, “So I should go to the company to find you if I want to contact you.”

“Cora, give him my business card.”

“Mr. Everett, this is Miss Haynes’s business card. Her office number was on it.”

“But she only answers it during her office hour.”

Bruce was lost for words.

He was angry that she only gave him the office number.

It meant that she was not even willing to give him her private number.
