Chapter 589


    Bruce Everett returned to his senses momentster and said hoarsely, “I don’t believe you. You must


    be lying to me!”


    “Joann, I know you hate me. But the child is innocent. You must be lying to me, right?” Bruce took a


    deep breath, unwilling to ept the fact.


    His parents passed away when he was young, and he had no siblings. His children were his only


    bloodline.


    Bruce already had three children.


    However, when Davian, Irvin, and Lilia were born, he was not by their side. He did not experience the


    joy of being a first-time father then.


    Bruce was fully prepared this time around and waited cagerly to wee a new life into the family.


    Therefore, he could not ept the abortion.


    Joanna Haynes paused momentarily before replying coldly, “I’m telling the truth. The child has been


    aborted.”


    “I don’t have to lie to you. There’s nothing else for you to expect”


    Suddenly, there was utter silence on the other end of the phone.


    Bruce could hear the sound of his heart being torn apart. Momentster, he roared angrily, “Joanna


    Haynes, how dare you


    do this to me?


    “That’s my child. How dare you abort it without my permission?” Bruce was hysterical.


    “Anyway, I have aborted it. End of discussion.” Joanna said matter-of-factly.


    Bruce heaved heavily to disperse his anger; his body trembled uncontrobly. “Joanna Haynes, you


    want to punish me! You did it on purpose, right?” he growled.


    “How could you kill your own flesh and blood? You’re so cruel! Utterly inhumane!”


    Bruce’s heart-wrenching roar did not move Joanna. Instead, sheughed coldly. “Cruel? Inhumane?


    Hahaha!”


    “I dwarf by you, Mr. Everett, Joanna sneered and said sarcastically.


    “What’s the matter? Can’t you take it? I’m surprised you can feel heartache too?”


    Bruce knitted his brows, his heart ached so much he could barely breathe. “You’re taking revenge on


    me on purpose!


    “You’ve always hated me. You’ve never forgiven me, have you? The happy times we had were all fake!


    “You don’t love me anymore. You want to take revenge on me!” Bruce snarled


    Joanna sighed and smiled, feeling unprecedentedly rxed and at ease.


    “That’s right! I already said on the day we divorced that I didn’t love you anymore,” she said


    indifferently.


    “I’ll never forgive you for the pain you’ve caused. I want you to taste what it feels like to be in so much


    pain that you want to


    die.”


    A chill ran down Bruce’s spine; he was stunned by what Joanna said.


    In the past, he always thought coaxing a woman was a piece of cake.


    At most, he would shower her with expensive jewelry and buy her a luxurious mansion and yacht.


    Money was no object. The woman would eventually change her mind if he showed ample sincerity.


    But Bruce suddenly realized his arrogance was at y. A woman would not forgive him easily if she


    were emotionally hurt. “Bruce, the pain you feel now is what I went through in the past, Joanna said


    calmly.


    “Except that my pain was ten times worse than yours. Think about what you’ve done to me. Do you


    think I’d still love you? Did you ever really love me? Don’t kid yourself, Bruce Everett!


    “That’s not love. It’s just possessiveness. Your love is like a master’s control over his pet. It’s unequal


    and lopsided. It was not lovel”


    Bruce was utterly stumped; his eyes were bloodshot.


    Joann, I’ve always loved you. Why do you think otherwise?” he said.


    Tm willing to give up everything for you. I can give you all my money.”


    Jaanna sneered upon hearing. “Haha, Bruce Everett, don’t you think it’s ridiculous!


    Yes, I have spent your money.


    1


    “But what I spent was not even a drop in the oceanpared to the market value of the Haynes


    Group.


    “You snatched the Haynes Group from me unscrupulously through despicable means. Ultimately,


    what’s the difference between you and a robber?


    “It’s my money you used to support me, and now you im you’re willing to give up everything for me?


    Don’t you think it’s ironic? Don’t you think it’s funny?


    “You’re utterly despicable!” Joanna scoffed.


    Bruce held his breath and closed his eyes tightly.


    He refused to ept that Joanna had aborted the baby.


    He was ecstatic when he found out she was pregnant.


    s, the more ecstatic he was in the past, the more disappointed he was now. Moreover, his love for


    Joanna seemed so pathetic in perspective.


    “All right, Joann, so be it!” Bruce sighed in resignation.


    “I beg you to give me another chance to make amends now. I’m going to prove that I love you.


    “As for the Haynes Group, I’ve never considered keeping it for myself. My goal has always been to


    keep you by my side.


    “I love you, Joanna. I love you so much!” Bruce said with heart-wrenching pain. Tears rolled down his


    face uncontrobly.


    Joanna hung up before he could finish.


    She did not want to listen to his nonsense.


    Beep, beep, beep!


    The busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Bruce Everett became instantly furious!


    He immediately made another call.


    “Hello, the number you have dialed is unavable.”


    “Bang!”


    Bruce smashed his cell phone into smithereens and kicked the coffee table across the room.


    “How can you misunderstand me like this, Joanna**


    “Cough, cough, cough! Argh!” Bruce was extremely anxious and angry; his face turned dark red.


    Blood gathered in his throat, and he instantly puffed out a mouthful.


    The butler returned with the found location. He went mumb when he saw Bruce vomiting blood. ‘Mr.


    Everett, how are you?”

    Bruce looked at the dark red blood on the floor; the explosive feeling in his chest subsided, and he felt


    better.


    He had gastric problems and had not eaten much for the past few days, causing his acute gastric ulcer


    to worsen. His stomach bled as a result.


    His extreme anger did not help either, causing him to vomit blood again


    “Don’t worry about me!” Bruce said dismissively.


    “No, Mr. Everett, you have to go to the hospital immediately, the butler urged.


    “I said don’t worry about me!” Bruce wiped away the blood stain with his sleeve at the corner of his lips.


    “Have you found the location?” he asked coldly.


    “Yes, sir. I’ve already found it.”


    “Where is it?”


    “Under an overpass in the Soris Gate area.”


    “Gather everyone to find her immediately. We must find Joanna Haynes!”


    “Mr. Everett. The butler looked at him worriedly.


    Whatever caused his vomiting of blood, it was usually a nasty illness.


    “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!’ Bruce growled.


    The butler dared not say anything else. “Okay, right away, sir.”


    Meanwhile, under the overpass.


    Joanna knew that Bruce woulde looking for her soon after hanging up.


    She quickly discarded her cell phone in the trash can and hurriedly left.


    The two vagrants nearby looked at Joanna with their mouths agape.
