Chapter 269


    The next day!


    When Joanna was heading off to work, she had just arrived downstairs!


    A bunch of entertainment reporters were already waiting downstairs at the Haynes Group!


    “Miss Haynes, have you seen yesterday’s news?”


    “What do you think about Miss Roxanne’s mental illness? Also, do you agree with the usations of


    your father?”


    Joanna’s face darkened. She did not want to answer any questions!


    “Get out of the way, get out of the way!” The bodyguards went forward to disperse the entertainment


    reporters!


    “Miss Haynes, please say something…”


    “Don’t get close, get out of the way!” The bodyguard stopped them stiffly!


    Joanna hurriedly walked towards thepany and entered thepany’s elevator in a sorry state!


    In the conference room!


    The higher–ups of the Haynes Group had already arrived. Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul had also arrived


    early.


    “Prepare for the meeting!”


    Mr. Roger sighed and said with a serious expression, “Miss Haynes, there are a bunch of


    entertainment reporters surrounding thepany every day! They have beening to thepany


    every day for the past few days! This has seriously affected thepany’s order!”


    “I know. I’ll get someone to deal with it!”


    Mr. Paul also frowned. “This matter is very serious. Miss Haynes, why don’t youy low?”


    “That’s right! Thepany’s stock price has fallen drastically these few days. It’s been falling to the


    limit for a few days! At this rate, our the Haynes Group’s stock market is about to copse!”


    “Miss Roxanne and Mr. Everett’s matter has also caused a hugemotion! Why don’t we quickly


    lower these negative news! The Haynes Group will suffer a huge loss!”


    When Joanna heard this, her brows furrowed tightly. “I understand!”


    “Let’s have the meeting first! We’ll mainly talk about three questions today! First, thepany’s image


    package. Second, thepany’s online delivery problem…”


    Just as Joanna was speaking, the phone started vibrating!


    Joanna nced at it. The call was from Michael!


    “I’m sorry I have to take this call first! Cora, exin the contents of the meeting to everyone first!”


    “Okay!” Cora took over the content of the meeting and continued to talk!


    Joanna took her phone and left conference room!


    Usually, she would not answer the phone during a meeting! However, Michael called her so early in the


    morning. Something must have happened at the factory in Mossbourne again!


    Hello, Michael! What’s the matter?”


    Michael’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. “Miss Haynes, when are you free to


    come to the factory in


    Mossbourne?”


    “What happened?”


    “All the cooperating businesses have canceled their orders. The Industry and Commerce Bureau and


    the Fire Department. have alsoe to inspect one after another! They said that our factory’s fire


    prevention is not up to standard and that we have to stop operations to rectify it!”


    “How could this be? What’s going on?”


    Michael said dejectedly. “The partners are saying that our the Haynes Group’s reputation has been


    damaged, so we’ll temporarily terminate the cooperation!”


    “Also, many workers have gone on strike!”


    “What about Mr. Grimm? Isn’t he at the factory these days?”


    “Mr. Grimm has called Venturas. I haven’t been able to get through!”


    “Alright, I’m aware!”


    “Close the factory first and cooperate with the fire department! I’ll make a trip to Mossbourne in two


    days!”


    “Alright, Miss Haynes!”


    After Joanna hung up, she frowned and pondered for a few seconds!


    Then, she opened today’s news!


    As soon as she opened the news app, a video of Shaun criticizing her in front of the camera popped


    up!


    In the video, her father’s face was filled with hatred as he wanted to sever their father–daughter


    rtionship. He simply wanted to tear her into pieces.


    After reading the news, Joanna didn’t know what to feel! Simr things had happened too many times!


    She was now immune to the media’sments! She didn’t want to care anymore and couldn’t be


    bothered!


    It was six o’clock in the evening.


    At Reagan No. 8 Residence!


    Joanna came back from work on time!


    “You’re back?” Bruce arrived home before her.


    “Yeah!”


    Bruce reminded her, “It’s Saturday the day after tomorrow. The ne tickets have been booked!”


    “I’m aware!”


    “Don’t go to thepany for the next few days. Rx! When we reach Gaprington, we can go on


    holiday as well”


    Joanna frowned. “I’m not in the mood!”


    Bruce quietly observed Joanna.


    Davian and Irvin ran over happily to wee her. “Mommy, you’re back!”


    “Yes!”


    “What did you learn in school today?” Joanna asked casually.


    “I’ve learned a lot today! There’s handiwork and painting!”


    “You think so?”


    N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    “That’s right!”


    Davian and Irvin had already been arranged to enter the best noble kindergarten in Greyport!


    “Are you used to the new school?”


    Irvin said happily, “Yes, it’s a habit! It’s even better than the kindergarten at Venturas!”


    “That’s good!”


    “It’s a pity that Lilia can’t go to kindergarten now! When Lilia recovers, let her go to kindergarten with


    us!”


    When Joanna heard this, he squeezed out a smile. “Don’t worry! When Lilia recovers, she will definitely


    go to school with


    you!”


    Lilia also shouted happily, “Mommy, are you off work?”


    “Good girl!


    “I’m going to cook!”


    Bruce frowned and said, “No need. Let the servants do it!”


    “It’s fine. I’m free today. I’ll personally make some food for the children!”


    Davian smiled. “That’s great. I want to eat Mommy’s dumplings!”


    “Me too!”


    “I want to eat spaghetti!” Bruce smiled at Joanna.


    Joanna looked at Bruce speechlessly!


    “Why are you looking at me? It’s rare for you to cook spaghetti for me. Do you feel wronged?”


    “No!”


    Joanna put down her bag and went upstairs to change her clothes. Then, she entered the kitchen


    again!


    There were many servants in the Everett family. There was no need for her to do anything herself!


    However, she still took the time to make something for the children to eat! When cooking, her mood


    could also be calmer!


    Joanna silently cut the chicken. She had been thinking about something and had identally cut her


    hand!


    “Ouch!”


    Bruce heard it and quickly came over to check. “What’s wrong?”


    1


    “It’s nothing! I identally cut my hand!”


    Bruce quickly grabbed her hand. “Look at you, you’re not careful at all! Hurry up and wrap a band–aid


    around it”


    “Okay!”


    “Let me handle this!”


    Joanna listened and looked at Bruce in surprise. “Do you know how to cook?”


    Bruce smiled. “Tsk, how can something that you know be difficult for me!”


    “Alright, cut these chickens into pieces! Cut some ginger and put it in!”


    “No problem!”


    While Bruce was working in the kitchen, Joanna went out to look for Band–Aids!


    In the children’s room!


    The two little guys were ying on theputer again. “Davian, someone is insulting Mommy again


    tonight!”


    “Humph, these big baddies think Mommy is easy to bully!”


    “What should we do? Should we avenge Mommy?”


    “Of course! We can’t just watch Mommy get bullied!”


    “Shaun is a big baddie. How dare he defame Mommy like this? We must teach him a lesson!”


    Irvin frowned. “Davian, this fat uncle seems to be our grandfather!”


    “If he treats Mommy like this, he’s definitely not our grandfather! We don’t want him to be our


    grandfather!”


    “Yes, Davian. What do you n to do?”


    “I haven’t decided yet!”


    “cklist all these posts online!*


    “So many!”


    “It doesn’t matter. This website has the mostments. Let’s just use this website!”


    “Good idea!”


    “Davian, Irvin, it’s time to eat. What are you guys doing?”


    “We’re on our way!”


    “You two brats, what are you sneaking around for again?”


    “Nothing.”


    “Be good, please don’t!”


    “We know! Mommy, don’t worry!”


    “Yes, Mommy’s dumplings is the best in the world!”


    “I’m going to eat a big bowl today.”


    “I want a big bowl too!”


    “Here’s your spaghetti!”


    Thank you, Honey!”


    Joanna rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t be bothered to argue with him!


    At nine o’clock in the evening.


    Joanna was about to go to bed.


    “Bruce, why are you here again?”


    “What’s wrong? We’re already living together. Can’t we sleep together?”


    “Bruce, my heart is in a mess right now. I want some peace and quiet!”


    “What do you want?”


    Joanna sighed deeply, not knowing what to say.


    The


    “Why are you looking so sad?”


    “I have something on my mind!”


    “Joanna, don’t give yourself so much pressure! At the very least, you still have me!”


    “There’s nothing that you can’t deal with if you please me.”
