Chapter 224


    Roxanne was consumed by restlessness, her tears flowing uncontrobly. “Mom, didn’t you say you


    had a way to deal with Joanna?


    “Now she’s getting more and more cocky. If she has another kid with Bruce, it’ll be like she’s had four


    kids with him!


    “Even if I have twins with Bruce, I can’tpete with her!”


    Ingrid rolled her eyes and clenched her teeth in anger when she heard this..


    She had already told her two cousins to take care of Joannia. They should have hired a killer for that.


    Three months had passed, and not only was Joanna doing well, but she was also pregnant now.


    This made her furious.


    These two useless cousins were always after money but always messed things up when it came to


    important matters.


    “Don’t worry! Just wait, I’ll make that slut pay!” Ingrid said.


    Roxanne sniffled and said with intense hatred, “How can I find peace?


    “I’m getting more and more anxious, Mom. I’m really scared! I don’t know what to do!”


    Roxanne cried in the arms of Ingrid.


    However, what scared her the most wasn’t Joanna’s pregnancy.


    It was about Margaret.


    There were some things that only brought a lingering fear once they were over.


    Now, she had nightmares every night, dreaming that Margaret wasing to take her life.


    She had acted on impulse back then, not thinking clearly.


    But she never expected that Margaret would die in an instant.


    Especially now that Kensley was asking her for money, she was even more afraid that the fact would


    be exposed! And if it came out, ording to Bruce’s personality, the Haynes family would be ruined


    miserably!


    Ingrid had no idea what Roxanne was thinking. Seeing her daughter so sad, she only held resentment


    toward Joanna.


    “Stop crying, it’s pointless! So what if she’s pregnant? Aren’t you pregnant too?


    “When you give birth to twins for Bruce, even if it’s not ideal, the children can still inherit part of his


    wealth in the future.


    “Crying won’t help now. You should gather your strength and fight that bitch till the end! Back then, her


    dead mother was no match for me! Why can’t you learn from what I did?”


    Upon hearing this, Roxanne held back her tears.


    She did want to learn from Ingrid’s past


    Tactics!


    But the problem was that Bruce was not Shaun. He didn’t fall for her tricks, and he wasn’t even


    interested in her.


    In a romantic rtionship, without sex, to be honest, love would fade away.

    “Mom, I just feel hurt and can’t help but cry…”


    Ingrid sighed, feeling even more distressed, and quickly wiped away her daughter’s tears. “Be good,


    stop crying!


    “Go home and wait! Don’t worry, with me around, that bitch won’t dare to step over you!

    “Even if she does, I will bring her down! That little bitch won’t reach her goal!”


    With Ingrid’sforting words, Roxanne felt much better and more at ease!


    She knew how skilled her mother was at causing a scene. Though not exactly proper, the results were


    impressive! She admired her for that.


    The next day, Ingrid grabbed her bag and hurriedly prepared to leave.


    Shaun was engrossed in the newspaper. There was a clear sign of the influence of social media these


    days. However, he had stuck to the habit of reading newspapers throughout the years.


    Noticing his wife about to leave, he couldn’t help but adjust his sses and ask, “Why are you heading


    out so early today?”


    Ingrid slipped on her high heels and replied, “I have an appointment for a beauty treatment.”


    “A beauty treatment this early?”


    “Just going early means no waiting. I won’t be back for lunch, so don’t wait for me.” Ingrid casually


    remarked as she grabbed. her car keys and left.


    She needed to find her two cousins quickly and check on their progress.


    It had been quite a while, and they hadn’t taken any action yet!


    An hourter, Ingrid arrived at her cousins‘ ce.


    She had arranged a meeting with them the day before, so her two cousins were already waiting for


    her.


    “What have you two been up to? Do you still want the money?” Ingrid angrily pointed her finger at her


    two cousins.


    Wace shed a sly smile, “Ingrid, we’ve already set the n in motion! But damn, this woman is so


    lucky; we missed her


    twice!”


    Ingrid grew annoyed and scolded, “I don’t care about your methods, just get rid of her as soon as


    possible!


    “Otherwise, you won’t get the 2 million dors!”


    “Believe me! We will definitely take care of her!”


    “Don’t just talk; you always show some damn enthusiasm when ites to money!


    “But when it gets serious, you always make excuses!”


    “We’ve already taken action! Last month, we almost ran her over with a car right in front of her


    “But out of nowhere, Mr. Everett showed up and saved her! And recently, we almost seeded in the


    “But that woman reacted quickly, and we couldn’t stab her heart, only cut her hand!”


    Ingrid listened with a mix of belief and doubt.


    But judging by her cousins‘ expressions, they didn’t seem to be joking.


    “I don’t want to hear any damn excuses. I’ll give you another month. If you can’t get it done by then, I


    won’t be able to give you the money!”


    “Don’t worry! We’re looking for the right opportunity!


    “As soon as we find the right time, we can send her to the afterlife real soon!”


    When Lin Yueru heard this, she pursed her lips and rolled her eyes!


    Ingrid pursed her lips and rolled her eyes. “I damn well hope so. Stop talking nonsense!


    “Alright, I’m leaving now!”


    Wace blocked her path with a grin. “Hey, Ingrid, it’s been a long damn time since the three of us


    yed together!


    “We don’t get chances like this often…”


    Ingrid pushed Wace away with disgust, “Go away, go away. We’re all adults now, so stop acting so


    damn indecent!


    “Focus on what matters. Quit wasting time on irrelevant things all the damn time!”


    After saying that, Ingrid slung her bag over her shoulder and left resentfully.


    It wasn’t because she had a change of heart and decided to uphold her feminine virtues.


    Rather, she had lost interest in making out with these cousins a long time ago and was feeling


    annoyed.


    Besides, the handsome young men at the beauty salon were all muscr and young! They provided


    excellent service with sweet words and at a low price. These two cousins were already middle–aged.


    Only a fool would choose them.


    After Ingrid left, Oscar frowned and said, “Wace, what should we do?”


    “Let’s go find Ramos right away and see if he still wants the money,” Wace suggested.


    Both of them contributed 100 thousand dors each and hired an assassin!


    The assassin was a taxi driver in his fifties who had been diagnosed with liver cancer a few months ago


    and had only six months left to live. He was determined to leave some money for his wife and children!


    He was the perfect fit for the job!


    Soon, they arrived at Ramos‘ residence!


    “Ramos, what’s your n? It has been so long. Do you still want to make money?” Wace repeated


    Ingrid’s words to him.


    Ramos sighed and said dejectedly, “I’ve made two attempts, but I failed by a hair’s breadth both times!


    “It’s a pity that her luck is so good!


    “We haven’t been able to track her whereabouts these past few days. This deal is not going well…”


    Seeing that Ramos was about to decline, Wace said in a muffled voice, “I’ll add another 20 thousand


    dors. Hurry up and finish the job!


    “This is 120 thousand dors. It will be enough for your wife and children for a long time. You can die in


    peace…”


    Ramos frowned. “Alright! I’ll think of another way!”


    For the sake of money, Ramos reluctantly agreed.


    After all, he didn’t have many days left to live. He still had a son and a daughter at home, and his wife


    didn’t have a job!


    Once he died, his entire family would probably starve!


    Although 200 thousand dors wasn’t arge sum in Greyport, it would be enough for them to get by


    for a long time!


    In Reagan No. S Residence, Bruce brought the three children over again!


    Joanna, who was originally in a dispirited state, instantly became much more energetic when she saw


    the three treasuresing over.


    “Mommy…


    “Baby!” Joanna quickly lifted the nket and tried to get out of bed.


    “The doctor told you to stay in bed and rest. Don’t get out of bed!” Bruce said coldly, chasing her back


    to bed.


    “Is your appetite better today?”


    “It’s alright!”


    “Mommy, we brought you cookies!”


    “Thank you, baby!”


    “Mommy, do you have a baby?”


    Joanna was stunned!


    ”


    Irvin smiled mischievously, “Mommy, are we going to have another little brother or sister?”


    “Yes.”


    “That’s great, Mommy! I like little sisters. Give me another little sister!”


    “I like it too!7


    The three children surrounded Joanna, chatting and asionally touching her belly.


    They looked at her with anticipation and smiled happily!
