Chapter 258


    Joanna said, “Okay, I will call himter. You can go out first.”


    “No problem,” Cora replied and left the office.


    Joanna frowned and sighed deeply.


    However, Joanna controlled her emotion and handled the work at hand first. After thinking about it over


    and over, she decided to call Jaydon.


    Joanna thought, “I’ve contacted Jay for nearly a month. He is probably anxious now.”


    Buzz. Buzz. Buzz


    Jaydon’s phone rang.


    Jaydon was depressed these days because he could not reach out to Joanna. When he received


    Joanna’s call, he hurriedly answered it.


    “Hello, Joann? Is that you?” Jaydon sounded very anxious.


    Joanna could tell Jaydon was really worried about her.


    “It’s me, Jay. How are you?”


    “I’m doing good!” replied Jaydon. He paused for a moment and asked a series of questions. “Are you


    okay? How’s everything with you now? Where are you?”


    Joanna said, “I’m at thepany now. You don’t have to worry about me.”


    Jaydon frowned and hesitated for a while. Then he asked, “Did Bruce make things difficult for you?”


    Joanna sighed slightly and answered, “No, he didn’t. No worries.”


    Jaydon asked, “Then why couldn’t I get through your phone these days? I didn’t know what was going


    on with you and worried about you a lot!”


    Joanna exined, “I was hospitalized before, and Bruce took my phone.


    “You know how domineering Bruce is. So, I finally have a chance to call you now.”


    Jaydon asked worriedly, “Joann, what do you n to do?”


    Jaydon knew he and Joanna would probably not be together.


    However, Jaydon did not want Joanna to go back to Bruce. He thought, “If Joanna decides to go back


    to Bruce, then thest hope of Joanna and I being together will be gone.”


    Joanna fell silent and did not answer Jaydon’s question.


    Joanna thought, nned to focus on her career.


    “However, Bruce keeps disrupting my n. I was going to devote myself to work and turn the Haynes


    Group into one of the top 500panies in the


    world.


    “Sadly, with Bruce causing trouble, thepany doesn’t develop as nned this year. Based on the


    current progress, getting into the list of the world’s top 500panies within three years is just a


    daydream.


    “I don’t see thepany will reach the goal even in ten years. The Haynes Group would have


    developed better without Bruce causing trouble to me.


    “However, I know Bruce well. That’s why I’m afraid to offend him. He will do more if I annoy him.”


    Noticing Joanna was silent, Jaydon asked again, “Hello? Still there? Say something!”


    Joanna came back to her senses. Then she sighed frustratedly and replied, “Let’s see what will


    happen. ns can’t keep up with changes”


    “Joann, then what do you really want to do? Do you really want to get back together with Bruce?”


    Jaydon had heard about the news that Bruce was going to remarry Joanna.


    Thus, Jaydon only wanted to know Joanna’s thoughts about that event.


    Joanna sighed deeply again and said, “I’m not going to remarry Bruce. However, things are very


    “All I can do is wait and see how things will develop.”


    Jaydon paused for a few seconds. Then he asked, “Is it convenient for you now? How about Ie


    over to visit you?”


    When Joanna heard this, she quickly shook her head and refused. “Please don’t! It’s not an appropriate


    time for us to meet each other.


    “Bruce gets several bodyguards to keep an eye on me. If he finds out I have contacted you, he’ll go


    crazy again.”


    Jaydon asked, “Then what should we do? Are we not going to see each other for the rest of our lives?”


    Joanna thought for a moment. Then she said, “I’ll figure out how to hold Bruce. Let’s see what things


    will develop.”


    “Alright then. Call me if you need anything.”


    “Okay.”


    “Take care!”


    “You too!” Jaydon and Joanna both hung up the phones after chatting for a few minutes.


    Joanna held her forehead in frustration, looking like she was struggling in her thoughts.


    Joanna thought, “I really don’t want to remarry Bruce!


    “However, Bruce has my kids now. If I directly reject him, I can’t imagine what crazy things he will do.”

    In the Haynes’s house.


    Roxanne and Ingrid did not dare to go out. Thus, they had been staying at home for more than a week.


    The entertainment journalists were still waiting for them at the door. They annoyed the Haynes family


    so much.


    Meanwhile, the news online about Bruce remarrying Joanna was getting ridiculous.


    Rumors went that Bruce and Joanna received a marriage license and were going to hold a grand


    wedding. Those articles even revealed the wedding


    date.


    When Roxanne sa the news, she was so angry that she almost went crazy. She cursed, “Joanna, you


    are a vixen. Why is Bruce so addicted to you? You


    must drug him!


    “It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! Bruce wouldn’t have abandoned me without you!”


    Shaun felt his heart ache for Roxanne when he saw Roxanne had an emotional breakdown. He said,


    “Hey, Roxanne. You should probably stop thinking about Mr. Everett now. What’s your n now?”


    Roxanne shouted, “I don’t know what to do. What can I do? I have nothing now. I’ve lost everything!


    And I be theughingstock for everyone!”


    As Roxanne spoke, she could not help but cry out loud.


    Ingrid’s face was gloomy. Then she said in frustration, “The most important thing now is how not to


    return those things!


    “The gifts that Mr. Everett gave Roxy are worth a lot of money if we sell them. Thus, we can’t return it


    easily! Roxy has been with him for so long. It can’t be that Roxy doesn’t have anything!”


    Ingrid got angrier and angrier as she spoke.


    Roxanne cried harder when she heard Ingrid’s words.


    The engagement ring that Bruce gave Roxanne was a pink diamond ring with more than 20 carats.


    Bruce even gave Roxanne matching essories, such


    as a pink diamond ne and bracelet. This set of jewelry was worth more than 100 million dors.


    When thinking of returning them, Roxanne felt like someone had stabbed her in her heart.


    Roxanne thought, “That is the most high–end pink diamond. There is only one in the world!


    “If I return it, Bruce will definitely give it to Joanna!


    “Other than the diamond ring, Bruce gave me a credit card with no limit. I can’t believe I had to return


    all of them to Bruce!”


    Thus, Roxanne asked, “Dad, how about you try to call Joanna again and ask her to talk to Bruce?”


    Ingrid agreed and said, “Good idea. Shaun, you should call Joanna now. We are okay with the


    breakup. However, Bruce has topensate Roxy something!”


    Shaun said, “Is money the only thing in the eyes of the two of you? Roxy did such an embarrassing


    thing. How can we take Bruce’s things?”


    Ingrid scolded indignantly, “First, this is money. Second, how can Bruce ask a woman to return the gifts


    that he gave to her?


    “It’s fine that he dumped Roxy. However, does he have to embarrass Roxy like this?”


    Ingrid urged, “Hurry up and call Joanna!”


    Shaun said dejectedly, “What do I say to Joanna on the phone?”


    Ingrid said, “Ask her to cut Roxy some ck and persuade Bruce to withdraw the indictment!”


    Shaun replied, “I’m not going to do that. If you want, you can call Joanna yourself.”


    Ingrid red at Shaun and yelled, “What do you want? Do you have to watch Roxy fall into a hopeless


    situation before you’ll be satisfied?”


    “Roxy can’t have nothing. Now, Joanna has taken away the Haynes family’s business. She even takes


    away Mr. Everett with her!”


    “Huh. Bruce is even worse. He wants the gifts back that he had given to Roxy. He is driving us up the


    wall.


    “I’m so sick of this!


    “Hurry up and call Joanna


    As Ingrid spoke, she dialed Joanna’s number.


    Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!


    Joanna’s phone rang.
