She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, &quot;sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.&quot;<br /> &quot;Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?&quot; asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> &quot;Roxy&#039;s back, and she doesn&#039;t want to see you! It&#039;s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!&quot; Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna&#039;s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, &quot;You&#039;re divorcing me because she&#039;s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?&quot;<br /> &quot;You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she&#039;s back, I won&#039;t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.&quot; Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> &quot;I... What will happen if I don&#039;t sign them?&quot; Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.&quot;<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna&#039;s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna&#039;s step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group&#039;s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes&#039; mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She&#039;d had enough anyway!<br /> &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll sign them, but I have a request.&quot;<br /> &quot;Spit it out then!&quot; Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> &quot;I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you&#039;ve been with me, you&#039;ve called out Roxanne&#039;s name. Yeah, you&#039;ve made me feel like I&#039;m the worst woman in the world, and I&#039;ve had enough! I&#039;m your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩 LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/0g1uzqn5ilwpe 114302685099444 Lereader-Excellent Novel https://facebook.com/61550357834620 431 1 3,608,721,316,056,768 2024-04-09 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 0 Learn more 0 Lereader-Excellent Novel 120207942952340573 yumread.com NONE image Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers!

I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩 LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/0g1uzqn5ilwpe 114302685099444 Lereader-Excellent Novel https://facebook.com/61550357834620 431 1 1,395,736,187,977,697 2024-04-08 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 0 Learn more 0 Lereader-Excellent Novel 120207942958630573 yumread.com NONE image Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers!

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.&quot;<br /> &quot;Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?&quot; asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> &quot;Roxy&#039;s back, and she doesn&#039;t want to see you! It&#039;s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!&quot; Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna&#039;s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, &quot;You&#039;re divorcing me because she&#039;s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?&quot;<br /> &quot;You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she&#039;s back, I won&#039;t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.&quot; Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> &quot;I... What will happen if I don&#039;t sign them?&quot; Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.&quot;<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna&#039;s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna&#039;s step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group&#039;s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes&#039; mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She&#039;d had enough anyway!<br /> &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll sign them, but I have a request.&quot;<br /> &quot;Spit it out then!&quot; Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> &quot;I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you&#039;ve been with me, you&#039;ve called out Roxanne&#039;s name. Yeah, you&#039;ve made me feel like I&#039;m the worst woman in the world, and I&#039;ve had enough! I&#039;m your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩 LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/0g1uzqn5ilwpe 114302685099444 Lereader-Excellent Novel https://facebook.com/61550357834620 431 1 338,481,025,447,124 2024-04-08 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 0 Learn more 0 Lereader-Excellent Novel 120207942960390573 yumread.com NONE image Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers!

Con el corazón roto, descubrió que era sólo una sustituta, dio media vuelta y se fue para convertirse en la heredera de un poderoso imperio empresarial.<br /> ======<br /> <br /> Capítulo1 Divorcio<br /> &quot;Imagínate si Norah nos sorprendiera aquí, en su cama. ¿Crees que se enojaría tanto que lloraría?&quot;, preguntó la mujer con un tono coqueto.<br /> <br /> &quot;Esta no es su cama. Después de todos estos años, ni siquiera la he tocado. Siempre duerme en la habitación de invitados de al lado&quot;, resopló el hombre.<br /> <br /> &quot;Derek, eres tan bueno conmigo...&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sus suaves murmullos se mezclaron con sus respiraciones agitadas.<br /> <br /> En la habitación tenuemente iluminada, un hombre y una mujer compartían momentos afectuosos en una espaciosa cama.<br /> <br /> Encima de ellos, adornando la prístina pared, había una foto de una novia con una expresión alegre.<br /> <br /> En la puerta, una joven se tapó la boca con las manos mientras las lágrimas corrían por su rostro.<br /> <br /> Después de un rato, su momento íntimo terminó.<br /> <br /> Derek Carter se puso sus pantalones cortos para ir a servirse un vaso de agua. Un destello de sorpresa se apoderó de su rostro cuando encontró a Norah Wilson sentada en la sala de estar.<br /> <br /> Se preguntaba cuándo había regresado y qué habría escuchado.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Lo oíste todo?&quot;, preguntó casualmente después de recostarse en el sofá con un vaso de agua.<br /> <br /> Había chupetones en su delgada figura, pero no le importaba si Norah los veía o cómo se sentiría. Simplemente bebió un sorbo de agua.<br /> <br /> &quot;Firma esto&quot;. Derek sacó una carpeta de un cajón y la arrojó sobre la mesa. &quot;Como es posible que lo hayas oído todo, no tiene sentido que prolonguemos este asunto&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah agarró tímidamente el documento y leyó las palabras &quot;Acuerdo de divorcio&quot; en la página inicial. Cuando fue hasta el final, vio la firma con estilo de Derek Carter.<br /> <br /> &quot;Puedes revisarlo. Si quieres agregar un término, avísame. De lo contrario, fírmalo&quot;, ordenó Derek.<br /> <br /> Luego, se reclinó y encendió un cigarrillo. El humo nubló su indiferente expresión.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿No puedes darnos otra oportunidad?&quot;. Norah tenía la cabeza gacha y la voz áspera por las lágrimas. Su elegante flequillo caía sobre los bordes oscuros de sus gafas, resaltando su triste mirada.<br /> <br /> Desde que formó parte de la familia Carter, se había dedicado a Derek para tener un futuro lleno de felicidad.<br /> <br /> Sus manos se apretaron cuando recordó al chico que la había protegido de una tormenta de nieve, deseando tener incluso la más mínima esperanza de permanecer a su lado.<br /> <br /> &quot;No seas tan patética, Norah. Tú sabes lo que pasa entre Madeline y yo. ¿Por qué te aferras a seguir siendo mi esposa? Ten un poco de dignidad&quot;. Derek dejó caer la ceniza en la bandeja impacientemente. &quot;Nuestro matrimonio nunca fue más que un acuerdo por conveniencia&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah sintió que su corazón daba un vuelco. Era Madeline Powell a quien Derek realmente amaba. Finalmente lo entendía.<br /> <br /> Norah se encorvó y jugueteó con el dobladillo de su ropa. Ahora se dio cuenta de que, cuando Madeline aparecía, la atención de Derek cambiaba por completo hacia ella.<br /> <br /> Hacía años, Madeline se fue al extranjero y Derek la persiguió, pero terminó en un trágico accidente automovilístico que lo dejó inconsciente.<br /> <br /> Se suponía que se casaría con Luna Wilson. Pero ella se involucró con otro hombre y tuvo un hijo, así que los Wilson ofrecieron a Norah como novia sustituta. Norah ocupó el lugar de Luna y se convirtió en la esposa de Derek.<br /> <br /> Durante su matrimonio, se dedicó a cuidarlo y cortó casi todos los lazos con su vida anterior por él. Incluso abandonó sus pasiones, como el diseño, las carreras de autos, la cirugía médica y la codificación, para concentrarse únicamente en su esposo.<br /> <br /> Cuando Derek despertó de su coma un año atrás, Norah siguió cuidándolo incansablemente y permaneció a su lado sin falta. Pero él pareció cegado por su ternura cuando Madeline regresó del extranjero.<br /> <br /> A pesar de dos años de matrimonio y cuidados, Norah tenía que admitir que no había logrado conquistar el corazón de Derek.<br /> <br /> Al no recibir respuesta, Derek no pudo evitar fruncir el ceño y estudiar a la mujer sentada frente a él.<br /> <br /> Norah era innegablemente atractiva, incluso con su espeso flequillo y sus grandes gafas, pero a menudo descuidaba su apariencia y se veía desaliñada. Además, tenía una personalidad demasiado reservada.<br /> <br /> Cuando Derek despertó del coma, Norah estuvo a su lado las veinticuatro horas del día, pero aun así él no sentía ninguna conexión emocional con ella, solo la encontraba increíblemente aburrida.<br /> <br /> Sus constantes cuidados y atenciones, así como su aspecto mundano y su rutina, eran tan monótonos como el agua. A Derek todo le parecía bastante aburrido.<br /> <br /> Reconocía el papel de Norah como cuidadora experimentada de la familia Carter durante esos dos años, pero nunca sintió que fuera adecuada para ser su compañera.<br /> <br /> Mientras apagaba otro cigarrillo, agregó casualmente:<br /> <br /> &quot;Esta es la residencia de los Carter...&quot;.<br /> <br /> Al interrumpirse, notó que Norah seguía con la cabeza gacha. La tristeza en su postura lo irritó.<br /> <br /> &quot;Soy consciente de tu miseria con los Wilson, así que te daré tres villas y treinta millones después del divorcio. Puedes elegir cualquier auto del garaje. Eso debería garantizarte una vida cómoda&quot;, ofreció Derek.<br /> <br /> No olvidaba el diligente cuidado de Norah mientras estaba postrado en cama y su compañía durante sus posteriores ejercicios de recuperación.<br /> <br /> Aunque no sentía ningún afecto por ella, estaba dispuesto a ofrecerle un acuerdo generoso por sus años de dedicación. Le había dedicado los dos mejores años de su vida.<br /> <br /> Derek se cruzó de brazos, y entonces Norah vio un pequeño tatuaje en su clavícula, empeorando su angustia. Era las iniciales MP. Madeline Powell.<br /> <br /> Derek ya no tenía paciencia.<br /> <br /> &quot;Dadas las circunstancias, te daré un día para que lo pienses. Si no estás de acuerdo con los términos, puedes sugerir ajustes, pero no vayas demasiado lejos. No soy conocido por ser paciente...&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;No es necesario que lo piense&quot;. Norah agarró el bolígrafo de la mesa y escribió su nombre en los papeles de divorcio. &quot;Empacaré mis cosas y me iré. Ya no me interpondré en tu camino&quot;.<br /> <br /> Derek le dio un asentimiento.<br /> <br /> &quot;Me alegra escuchar eso&quot;.<br /> <br /> Derek apreciaba que Norah siempre cediera, como una sirviente que nunca cuestionaba sus decisiones. Un ejemplo era ese mismo día, pues podría haber causado un escándalo, pero mantuvo la paz.<br /> <br /> En su opinión, su comportamiento era demasiado aburrido. Tenía miedo de que estar cerca de alguien tan corriente pudiera contagiarlo eventualmente. El amor, después de todo, no era algo que pudiera forzarse.<br /> <br /> Justo cuando estaba a punto de decir algo sobre el contrato, Madeline salió elegantemente, vestida con una camisa blanca.<br /> <br /> Apenas le cubría sus muslos y solo había un par de botones abrochados, exponiendo mucha piel.<br /> <br /> Su cabello estaba húmedo, por lo que la camisa se pegaba ligeramente a su piel, haciendo de su apariencia mucho más atractiva.<br /> <br /> Al escuchar unos pasos, Norah se dio la vuelta y vio a Madeline usando lo que inmediatamente reconoció como la camisa de Derek, una que ella había elegido para él.<br /> <br /> Sus miradas se encontraron. Madeline le dedicó una sonrisa engreída y burlona.<br /> <br /> Pero cuando Derek siguió su mirada, ella se apresuró a ocultar su sonrisa.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, por fin nos conocemos. Soy Madeline Powell&quot;. Madeline se acercó a Derek y se sentó a su lado. &quot;Derek te menciona a menudo&quot;, dijo apoyándose sobre su hombro. &quot;Es un placer conocerte&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah bajó la mirada y no respondió.<br /> <br /> Madeline le dio un codazo a Derek en broma.<br /> <br /> &quot;Escuché que le darás tres villas a Norah. ¿No sabías que yo quería la villa cerca del lago? ¿Por qué se la prometiste? ¿Ya no me amas?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Siendo indulgente con los deseos de Madeline, Derek se volvió hacia Norah.<br /> <br /> &quot;Te daré otra villa&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah lo miró a través de sus gafas.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Pero no dijiste que esa era para mí?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Madeline hizo un puchero.<br /> <br /> &quot;Derek...&quot;.<br /> <br /> El rostro del hombre mostró un destello de molestia.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, ¿no entiendes lo que acabo de decir? Tómalo como un favor. Si no quieres realizar cambios, por favor, abstente de hacer solicitudes&quot;.<br /> <br /> Capítulo2 Dale una lección<br /> &quot;Norah, deseo con todo mi corazón esa villa junto al lago. Elige otra para ti. Siempre he soñado que ese sería mi nuevo hogar con Derek&quot;, confesó Madeline mientras se acurrucaba más en sus brazos. &quot;Ha sido mi deseo desde hace mucho&quot;.<br /> <br /> Derek sintió nostalgia ante sus palabras.<br /> <br /> Norah lanzó una suave risa.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Qué te ríes?&quot;, preguntó él.<br /> <br /> Madeline se acurrucó junto a Derek. El escote abierto de su camisa revelaba mucho de su suave piel. Mientras giraba distraídamente un mechón de su cabello, quiso llamar la atención del hombre, quien apoyó una mano sobre su hombro.<br /> <br /> &quot;Me estoy riendo de lo tonta que fui&quot;, contestó Norah gélidamente.<br /> <br /> Sin dudarlo, agarró el vaso de agua de Derek de la mesa y los empapó a los dos. La repentina cascada los dejó perplejos.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, ¿has perdido la cabeza?&quot;, espetó Derek.<br /> <br /> Norah se puso de pie.<br /> <br /> &quot;Señor Carter, pensé que eras un hombre de palabra. Ya que me hiciste una promesa, cúmplela. De lo contrario, admite que eres un pésimo hombre que rompe su palabra&quot;.<br /> <br /> Madeline estaba acostumbrada a la indulgencia de Derek, por lo que tenía un temperamento feroz. Simplemente fingía vulnerabilidad y sumisión para ganarse el afecto de los hombres.<br /> <br /> Pero ahora estaba tan molesta que se levantó y empujó fuertemente a Norah.<br /> <br /> &quot;Ya se te ha mostrado suficiente indulgencia. ¿Crees que puedes hablarnos así? ¿Quién te crees que eres? ¿Cómo te atreves a tratarnos a Derek y a mí con tan poco respeto?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Luego, volvió a buscar refugio en los brazos del hombre.<br /> <br /> &quot;Derek, Norah ha cruzado el límite. ¡Dale una lección!&quot;. Mirándolo lastimosamente, imploró: &quot;Mira, mi cabello y mi ropa están empapados&quot;.<br /> <br /> Su camisa blanca se pegaba a ella, resaltando su elegante figura.<br /> <br /> Norah los observó con calma, como si presenciara un espectáculo circense.<br /> <br /> &quot;Yo no pedí esas villas y propiedades. La familia Carter es bastante adinerada, pero todavía duda ante asuntos tan pequeños. Lo entiendo, piensas que no lo merezco&quot;, declaró con un tono burlón pero carente de amargura.<br /> <br /> No obstante, Derek sintió un cambio profundo en la actitud de Norah.<br /> <br /> Con la mandíbula apretada, se secó el agua del rostro antes de volverse hacia Madeline.<br /> <br /> &quot;Tengo muchas villas a mi nombre. Elige otra que te guste y será tuya&quot;.<br /> <br /> Pero la furia de Madeline hacia Norah latía a fuego lento. Además de Derek, nadie se había atrevido a faltarle el respeto de esa manera. La idea de que la exesposa no deseada de Derek actuara de esa manera era insoportable.<br /> <br /> Así que la fulminó con la mirada.<br /> <br /> &quot;Entonces, ¿entregarás esa villa o no?&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;No&quot;, respondió Norah firmemente.<br /> <br /> Un estruendo resonó cuando Madeline le dio una fuerte bofetada.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Cómo te atreves? Sin Derek, no eres nadie en la familia Wilson. ¡Solo eres una bastarda!&quot;, bramó Madeline.<br /> <br /> El rostro de Derek se ensombreció, pero no tardó en recuperar la calma.<br /> <br /> &quot;Madeline, no te enfades por ella&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah se tocó la mejilla e hizo una mueca por el ardor de la bofetada. Probando la sangre, le dio una mirada fulminante a la otra mujer y susurró:<br /> <br /> &quot;Te faltan modales...&quot;.<br /> <br /> Madeline buscó refugio en los brazos de Derek.<br /> <br /> &quot;Tengo a Derek a mi lado&quot;, se jactó. &quot;¿Qué tienes tú? No eres más que un perro callejero que ya no quisieron más. ¡Ah! ¡Norah!&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah le arrojó un jarrón. Este se estrelló contra el suelo cerca del sofá, rompiéndose en pedazos.<br /> <br /> &quot;Si tienes ganas de ladrar, puedes hacerlo&quot;, agregó mientras se acercaba. Luego, agarró a Madeline por el cabello para obligarla a mirarla y la abofeteó ferozmente.<br /> <br /> Madeline se puso a gritar.<br /> <br /> &quot;¡Derek!&quot;.<br /> <br /> Derek, sintiendo que Norah se había excedido, se enojó pero se contuvo.<br /> <br /> Después de liberar a Madeline, Norah retrocedió un paso.<br /> <br /> &quot;Los dejaré en paz. Espero que encuentren alegría, tengan muchos hijos y estén juntos para toda la vida&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah salió de la residencia de Derek mientras escuchaba a lo lejos los sollozos de Madeline.<br /> <br /> Cuando la puerta se cerró de golpe, esta empezó a gritar indignada.<br /> <br /> &quot;Derek, ¿puedes creer lo que Norah acaba de hacer?&quot;, se quejó. &quot;Nos mojó y me abofeteó. Tienes que darle una lección...&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;¡Suficiente!&quot;, la interrumpió él. Masajeándose las sienes, suavizó su voz. &quot;Norah y yo estamos divorciados. No quiero seguir enredándome con ella. Cumpliré tus deseos, Madeline. Pero cálmate, por favor&quot;.<br /> <br /> Con un puchero, ella se acurrucó en el abrazo de Derek.<br /> <br /> &quot;El comportamiento de Norah hacia ti me irrita&quot;, murmuró con frustración. &quot;Siempre has mencionado lo dócil que es, pero hoy fue todo lo contrario. Estaba muy agresiva&quot;.<br /> <br /> Derek recordó a Norah agarrando la taza para echarle agua, así como la mirada fría que le dirigió a Madeline cuando la abofeteó. Era un lado suyo que nunca había presenciado antes. Fue entonces cuando se dio cuenta de que no la conocía bien. Su impresión de ella solo se basaba en su obediencia.<br /> <br /> Al salir, Norah vio un sedán negro esperándola en la puerta. El conductor la saludó con respeto.<br /> <br /> &quot;Señora Norah Carter, la señora Juliana Carter solicita su presencia&quot;.<br /> <br /> Ella estaba sorprendida y no sabía qué hacer, pero aun así entró al vehículo sin pensarlo dos veces.<br /> <br /> Pronto el auto se detuvo frente a una enorme villa. Era la mansión de los Carter, la residencia de los abuelos de Derek.<br /> <br /> &quot;Señora Norah Carter...&quot;, saludó el mayordomo y llevó a la aparentemente preocupada Norah al interior.<br /> <br /> Parecía querer seguir conversando, pero finalmente decidió permanecer callado.<br /> <br /> &quot;La señora Juliana dice que no la ve desde hace mucho. La cena aún no está servida, así que podría pasar tiempo con ella antes de cenar&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah bajó los ojos y no dijo nada. Tenía la sensación de que Juliana quería convencerla de que reconsiderara el divorcio.<br /> <br /> La mansión solía ser muy tranquila, ya que solo era habitada por los abuelos de Derek. Pero esta cobró vida cuando Juliana, la abuela de Derek, notó la llegada de Norah y la invitó calurosamente a acercarse.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, siéntate aquí&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah se instaló y la saludó con una sonrisa a pesar de su confusión.<br /> <br /> Juliana agarró su mano.<br /> <br /> &quot;No me has visitado en mucho tiempo&quot;, dijo ansiosamente.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Cómo va todo con Derek?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah supuso que la anciana la estaba poniendo a prueba. Dudaba que no supiera sobre el regreso de Madeline.<br /> <br /> Con aplomo, declaró:<br /> <br /> &quot;Derek piensa que deberíamos divorciarnos. Acabo de firmar el acuerdo de divorcio para dejarle el paso libre a Madeline&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Madeline?&quot;, repitió Juliana tajantemente. &quot;Sus acciones hicieron que Derek sufriera ese accidente. ¿Cómo se atreve a regresar a su vida? No te preocupes, yo te prefiero a ti sobre esa mujer. ¿Existe alguna posibilidad de que reconsideres el divorcio?&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Divorcio? ¡Quizás sea lo mejor!&quot;. Sharon Carter, la madre de Derek, se acercó con una sonrisa. Su presencia irradiaba sofisticación y encanto mientras se movía con seducción.<br /> <br /> Juliana se puso furiosa.<br /> <br /> &quot;¡Camina bien! ¿Por qué te comportas así? No tienes modales&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sharon se sorprendió ante su reprimenda y su expresión se volvió incómoda. Mirando a Norah, agregó con tono gélido:<br /> <br /> &quot;Menos mal están divorciados. Derek se iba a casar con Luna Wilson, la hija mayor de los Wilson. ¿Pero qué pasó? Luna fue tan desvergonzada como para involucrarse con otro hombre y terminó embarazada.<br /> <br /> En todos estos años viviendo en Glophia, nunca escuché que la familia Wilson tuviera otra hija. Me pregunto de dónde salió esta mujer. ¿No ha disfrutado de suficiente riqueza y prosperidad siendo la esposa de Derek durante dos años?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Capítulo3 Cambio de imagen<br /> Norah agarró la mano de Juliana. Su expresión se iluminó con una sonrisa, como si ignorara los duros comentarios de Sharon.<br /> <br /> &quot;Parece que tienes un poco de tos. Estoy segura de que una sopa te ayudará a recuperarte. Le daré la receta al mayordomo más tarde&quot;.<br /> <br /> Juliana siempre había apreciado su docilidad y sensatez, así que respondió calurosamente:<br /> <br /> &quot;Eres un ángel, Norah. No me estoy haciendo más joven y mi salud ha ido empeorando con la edad. Querida, tú eres la única que muestra tanta preocupación por mi bienestar&quot;.<br /> <br /> Al verse ignorada, Sharon palideció.<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, vamos&quot;, resopló. &quot;¡Deja de fingir! Ahora que ya firmaste el acuerdo de divorcio, no es necesario que sigas actuando. ¿De verdad crees que permanecer cerca de Juliana te otorgará el derecho de seguir beneficiándote de nuestra familia?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Antes de que Norah pudiera responder, la anciana intervino:<br /> <br /> &quot;Ella ha sido amable con todos nosotros desde que formó parte de esta familia. Estuvo al lado de Derek durante su coma y lo cuidó diligentemente. Sin mencionar que siempre nos ha tratado a ti y a mí con respeto. ¿Por qué ahora eres tan desagradecida, después de todo lo que ha hecho por nuestra familia en estos años?&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;¡Juliana! Norah no es más que una bastarda de los Wilson. ¿Por qué la defiendes?&quot;. Sharon dio un pisotón.<br /> <br /> Luego, se volvió hacia Norah.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Dije algo malo? ¿Cómo merece esta bastarda ser la esposa de Derek? Si tú y tu esposo no hubieran insistido en que ella se casara con Derek, jamás la habría aprobado. Además, ha vivido de la fortuna de la familia Carter todo este tiempo. Es comprensible que nos trate con respeto. ¿Por qué haces que parezca como si hubiera hecho algo grandioso? Tampoco ha concebido en todos estos años. Quieres bisnietos, ¿no? Apuesto a que Derek se divorció de ella por ese motivo&quot;.<br /> <br /> El rostro de Juliana se volvió severo.<br /> <br /> &quot;Sharon, cuida tus palabras. ¿Cómo puedes decir semejantes estupideces?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Aunque estaba sorprendida por su severidad, Sharon replicó:<br /> <br /> &quot;Solo estoy exponiendo los hechos. Es una suerte que no haya concebido, ya que eso podría haber complicado el divorcio. Cualquier hijo suyo sería tan desagradable como ella&quot;.<br /> <br /> Juliana estaba perturbada por las palabras de su nuera, pero se limitó a agarrar la mano de Norah para tranquilizarla.<br /> <br /> &quot;Ignórala, Norah. Es una mujer grosera y malhablada. Por favor, no te precipites con el asunto del divorcio. Mientras respire, solo te reconoceré a ti como la esposa de Derek. Mi esposo y yo te apreciamos muchísimo. No te preocupes por la reacción de mi nieto. Concéntrate en llevarte bien con él y sigan viviendo plenamente juntos&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sharon se veía bastante frustrada.<br /> <br /> &quot;Juliana, ¿qué te pasa? ¿Por qué tú y tu esposo siempre defienden a Norah? ¡Maldita sea! Norah, lo mejor es que aceptes que tú y Derek terminaron&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah alzó los ojos llorosos hacia Juliana.<br /> <br /> &quot;Basta de tonterías, Sharon&quot;, espetó la anciana, manteniendo la compostura. &quot;No tienes voz ni voto en el matrimonio de Derek. No opines sobre ese asunto, y déjame resaltar una vez más que prefiero a Norah. Si no puedes hablar debidamente, sal de mi vista. ¡Ahora!&quot;.<br /> <br /> El rostro de Sharon se enrojeció de furia y vergüenza. Tuvo que apretar los labios con fuerza para reprimir cualquier otra objeción.<br /> <br /> Juliana volvió a centrar su atención en Norah:<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Qué piensas?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah se encontró con su mirada. Las lágrimas rodaban por sus mejillas mientras luchaba por hablar.<br /> <br /> &quot;Yo... Te agradezco mucho, Juliana. Pero hoy encontré a Madeline y Derek teniendo sexo en lo que solía ser nuestra cama. Además, la indiferencia de Derek me ha dado a entender que no tiene sentido continuar con este matrimonio&quot;.<br /> <br /> El rostro de Juliana se volvió de un blanco fantasmal y sus rasgos se arrugaron por la preocupación.<br /> <br /> &quot;La culpa es de Derek&quot;. Luego, agarró firmemente sus manos para consolarla. &quot;Has soportado mucho durante todo este tiempo&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah permaneció callada. Un breve silencio se apoderó de la sala de estar.<br /> <br /> De repente, se escuchó la fuerte voz de Sharon.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿La puta de Madeline ha vuelto? ¡Maldición! Voy a salir, Juliana. ¡Tengo que hacer que esa puta pague!&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sharon agarró rápidamente su bolso y salió corriendo.<br /> <br /> Norah se secó las lágrimas y esbozó una sonrisa de alivio.<br /> <br /> &quot;Estoy bien, en serio&quot;.<br /> <br /> Juliana tenía el corazón apesadumbrado.<br /> <br /> &quot;Bueno, no te presionaré más. Pero visítame cuando tengas tiempo. Solo tu compañía me basta&quot;.<br /> <br /> Las lágrimas se acumularon en sus ojos. Realmente se había encariñado con Norah y reconocía su importancia en la recuperación de su nieto.<br /> <br /> Norah secó tiernamente las lágrimas de la anciana, apreciando la genuina bondad que le había mostrado.<br /> <br /> &quot;Lo haré. Bueno, tengo que irme. Por favor, deberías pedir a la criada que le prepare la sopa&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah se marchó sin mirar atrás, sin darse cuenta de la resolución en los ojos de Juliana.<br /> <br /> Esta se secó los ojos y le indicó al mayordomo:<br /> <br /> &quot;Haz que Derek y los demás vengan aquí mañana al mediodía&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;Entendido&quot;, contestó él.<br /> <br /> Cuando Norah salió de la mansión de los Carter, el chófer de la familia se acercó a ella.<br /> <br /> &quot;Señora, ¿adónde le gustaría ir?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Sus modales seguían siendo educados, ya que todavía la consideraba la esposa de Derek.<br /> <br /> Pero una vez que firmó el documento de divorcio, Norah comprendió que había roto sus lazos con la familia Carter.<br /> <br /> Al mirar su teléfono, descubrió que había un mensaje nuevo.<br /> <br /> Era de Joanna Andrews, su amiga.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, ¿estás disponible esta noche para acompañarme al club Glamour? Madeline ha regresado, así que Derek le organizará una fiesta de bienvenida. ¡Va a ser todo un espectáculo! Tenemos que hacer sentir nuestra presencia&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah le dio una respuesta breve.<br /> <br /> &quot;Cuenta conmigo&quot;.<br /> <br /> Joanna envió varios signos de interrogación. La rápida aceptación de su amiga la tomó con la guardia baja.<br /> <br /> &quot;Estoy oficialmente divorciada&quot;, explicó Norah. &quot;De ahora en adelante, estaré sola&quot;.<br /> <br /> Joanna no respondió nada por un momento, pero luego envió un mensaje emocionado con una ráfaga de signos de exclamación.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, ¡¿dónde estás ahora?! ¡¡¡Iré por ti inmediatamente!!! ¡¡¡Solo dame diez segundos para llegar!!!&quot;.<br /> <br /> Divertida ante el entusiasmo de su amiga, Norah le envió una ubicación y le indicó al conductor:<br /> <br /> &quot;Por favor, lléveme al Edificio Splendor&quot;.<br /> <br /> Era un lugar conocido en Glophia por ser un lujoso centro comercial, con marcas de primer nivel de todo el mundo.<br /> <br /> Al llegar, Norah fue recibida calurosamente.<br /> <br /> &quot;Noelle, me alegro mucho de verte. ¿Viniste para entregar los bocetos de diseño?&quot;.<br /> <br /> El lujoso vestidor estaba repleto de impresionantes vestidos de alta costura, cada uno adornado con brillantes diamantes que reflejaban la luz.<br /> <br /> Aaron Harvey, el diseñador de alta costura de Asodence, se acercó teatralmente a ella y la tomó del brazo.<br /> <br /> &quot;Me duele cada vez que te veo así. ¿Por qué escondes tu hermoso rostro? Eres la flor más exquisita, así que deberías florecer con valentía&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah parpadeó.<br /> <br /> &quot;Estoy de acuerdo, Aaron. ¿Puedes ayudarme con un cambio de imagen?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Aaron esperó que Norah le diera excusas, así que estaba a punto de continuar con la persuasión, pero entonces se quedó paralizado.<br /> <br /> &quot;¡Espera! Tú... Noelle, ¿de verdad quieres tener una transformación? ¡Oh, por Dios! Acudir a mí fue la mejor decisión de tu vida&quot;.<br /> <br /> Dejando de lado el tema de los borradores de diseño, Aaron la llevó a la silla de maquillaje.<br /> <br /> &quot;Quédate quieta. Te aseguro que serás una mujer deslumbrante cuando deje que tu belleza natural y tu irresistible encanto hagan su magia&quot;.<br /> <br /> Aaron observó el sencillo atuendo y el cabello despeinado de Norah. Luego, comenzó entusiasmadamente su transformación con una brocha de maquillaje en la mano.<br /> <br /> Cuando Joanna llegó al lugar, todavía seguían maquillando a Norah.<br /> <br /> Como conocía a Aaron, fue a saludarlo y se sentó en una cercana silla de maquillaje.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, te felicito por tu regreso oficial a una vida despreocupada&quot;.<br /> <br /> Capítulo4 Club Glamour<br /> Norah le dio una sonrisa.<br /> <br /> &quot;Eres muy hábil con las palabras, Joanna&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;Oye, ¿no estabas enamorada de Derek?&quot;, preguntó ella con curiosidad. &quot;¿Qué te hizo recuperarte y olvidar tu amor?&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;Acabo de encontrarlo con Madeline en la cama&quot;, explicó Norah con voz gélida.<br /> <br /> Joanna se echó a reír.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Tan desesperada está Madeline por estar con un hombre? Apenas ha regresado y ya se metió con el esposo de otra persona. Me pregunto cómo era su vida en el extranjero. Bueno, debo reconocer que tú y Derek ambos son demasiado dedicados al amor. Él estaba obsesionado con su primer amor y tú le eras completamente devota, a pesar de que nunca te correspondió. ¿Acaso el amor ciega tanto a la gente?&quot;.<br /> <br /> La mente de Norah empezó a vagar. Hoy había sido la primera vez que vio a Madeline.<br /> <br /> Solo había escuchado hablar de ella a través de Derek y el personal de la casa. Todos la describían como amable, empática, educada y tranquila, alguien que podía atraerlo.<br /> <br /> Norah siempre había hecho de todo para cuidarlo, adoptando las supuestas características de Madeline, incluso tratando de parecerse a ella para llamar su atención.<br /> <br /> Pero ser un reemplazo nunca era suficiente. Además, Madeline no era en absoluto la persona que ella había imaginado.<br /> <br /> &quot;Lo entenderías si alguna vez sintieras el amor&quot;, respondió sin mucho entusiasmo.<br /> <br /> Joanna frunció el ceño.<br /> <br /> &quot;No quiero perderme en el amor, Norah. Prefiero estar alerta y a tu lado. Apenas nos vemos desde que te uniste a la familia Carter&quot;.<br /> <br /> Tras su matrimonio, Norah se dedicó a Derek y a la familia Carter, dejando atrás su vida pasada y sus amistades.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, ahora que estás divorciada, ¿participarás en la carrera de la montaña Krusa en cinco días?&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;No&quot;, contestó ella rotundamente. &quot;Hace dos años que no participo en carreras, así que estoy fuera de práctica&quot;.<br /> <br /> Pero Joanna no parecía convencida.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Fuera de práctica? Dame una excusa mejor la próxima vez. Dime, Norah, ¿todavía tienes esperanzas de regresar con el bastardo de Derek?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Joanna quiso hablar mal de ese hombre, pero tuvo una idea.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Recuerdas la carrera de hace tres años? Nocturne fue el único que pudo alcanzarte. Desde que te retiraste, ha conseguido el primer puesto en la carrera de Krusa durante los últimos dos años. Todos esperan que vuelva a competir este año. ¿No quieres verlo?&quot;.<br /> <br /> La carrera de la montaña Krusa era un emocionante evento clandestino, una reunión de la élite joven y adinerada de Glophia que eran entusiastas de las carreras de autos. Ese evento era conocido por sus emocionantes carreras y atraía a una multitud fanática de los deportes extremos.<br /> <br /> Para proteger la privacidad de los concursantes, cada uno recibía una máscara de los organizadores y usaba apodos durante la carrera.<br /> <br /> Una peculiaridad era que el ganador podía pedirles a los perdedores que se quitaran la máscara.<br /> <br /> Norah recordó la emocionante carrera de hacía tres años, en la que Nocturne se quedó por poco con el primer puesto por unos escasos tres segundos.<br /> <br /> &quot;Bueno, supongo que no hay nada de malo en echarle un vistazo&quot;, comentó con un brillo en los ojos.<br /> <br /> Aaron se mostró interesado cuando escuchó sobre el divorcio.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿Estás divorciada, Noelle? Ese hombre no sabe lo que se perdió. Apuesto a que se arrepentirá de haber dejado a alguien tan valioso como tú. De todos modos, sobre esos borradores de diseño...&quot;.<br /> <br /> Joanna se volvió hacia Aaron.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, ¿aún trabajas en diseños para BelleVogue? No me extraña que algunas de sus líneas de lujo se parezcan a tus creaciones&quot;.<br /> <br /> Aaron sonrió orgullosamente.<br /> <br /> &quot;Noelle es una diseñadora de moda de primer nivel reconocida por la Asociación de Alta Costura. Es famosa en todo el mundo por sus diseños, los cuales están valorizados en precios altísimos. Afortunadamente, siendo cercano a Noelle, he sido el único que ha recibido sus creaciones en estos dos años&quot;.<br /> <br /> Joanna puso los ojos en blanco.<br /> <br /> &quot;Todo esto es por el talento de Norah. ¿Qué tiene que ver contigo? Vamos, apúrate. Tengo que verme espectacular esta noche, al igual que Norah&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;Bueno, bueno. Relájate y me aseguraré de que ambas se vean fabulosas&quot;.<br /> <br /> Una hora después, las dos amigas entraron al club Glamour.<br /> <br /> En la pista de baile, unas luces vibrantes giraban e iluminaban todo el lugar. La música sonaba con emoción mientras la gente bailaba. Sus rostros brillaban de alegría entre el olor a alcohol y el humo.<br /> <br /> El segundo piso ofrecía un ambiente más tranquilo. Ahí Norah se sentó en un sofá para beber su bebida, atrayendo miradas curiosas. Tenía puesto un pequeño vestido sin tirantes de color blanco plateado. Su cabello castaño estaba ligeramente rizado y caía sobre su espalda. La elegante curva de su cuello brillaba suavemente mientras inclinaba la cabeza para tomar un sorbo de su bebida.<br /> <br /> &quot;¡Ahí está mi Norah!&quot;, exclamó Joanna y se sentó frente a ella. &quot;No te has reunido conmigo en todo este tiempo. ¡Y siempre te ponías esos vestidos formales en la residencia de ese idiota! ¿No te sentías asfixiada? Es tan bueno verte una vez más en tu elemento. ¡Me hace tan feliz!&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah siguió tomando su bebida en silencio.<br /> <br /> A medida que el ardiente líquido se deslizaba por su garganta hasta su vientre, su cuerpo empezó a entrar en calor.<br /> <br /> A pesar de que se había casado con un miembro de la familia Carter y lo atendía a diario, disfrutaba vestirse elegantemente y ponerse un maquillaje encantador. Pero Sharon y Kathy, la hermana de Derek, a menudo la criticaban por ser demasiado llamativa. Afirmaban que, como su esposo estaba postrado en cama, ella no tenía por qué vestirse tan extravagantemente.<br /> <br /> Por el bien de Derek, Norah se dedicó por completo a cuidarlo, convirtiéndose en su constante enfermera.<br /> <br /> Pero esos días habían quedado en el pasado. Ahora que se había liberado de la familia Carter, podía vestirse como quisiera, sin preocuparse por sus críticas.<br /> <br /> Joanna miró su teléfono y alzó la mirada.<br /> <br /> &quot;Norah, ¿tienes algún plan para crear una escena en la estúpida fiesta de bienvenida de Derek para esa perra? ¿Te gustaría que traiga a algunas personas para hacer un escándalo?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Norah miró fijamente el líquido dorado que se arremolinaba en su vaso mientras lo movía de a pocos.<br /> <br /> &quot;Vinimos aquí no solo por ellos, ¿verdad? Dime, ¿quién es la persona con la que me has citado?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Joanna pareció sorprenderse y esbozó una sonrisa astuta.<br /> <br /> &quot;¿A qué te refieres, Norah? ¡Solo vinimos para agitar las cosas!&quot;.<br /> <br /> &quot;Este club le pertenece a la familia Morris, así que preferiría no hacerlos enojar&quot;, explicó ella. &quot;Soy consciente de que la estúpida fiesta de Derek solo es una excusa. Entonces, contéstame honestamente. ¿Quién te buscó para llegar a mí?&quot;.<br /> <br /> Su conversación fue interrumpida por el timbre de un teléfono.

Yes 2024-04-10 19:43 active 487 0 3803977936536745 Read More Exciting Content👉 Calvin is my boyfriend, and we have been together for many years. Although other people in the pack often bully me, if Calvin is around, I can persevere. On that day, Calvin&#039;s birthday, I found out that he had an affair with my sister, and I decided to leave the pack. Just as I was about to leave, Alpha King came to our pack, and he captured everyone.<br /> &quot;You want her? She&#039;s a human!&quot;<br /> The king released a roar that made every member of the pack flinch and drop their heads lower in submission. With my face only a few inches from the ground, I watched with terror as the king moved away from me and stood before my biggest bully Kate. <br /> The greater distance between us allowed me to see more of him. He was larger than the other Lycans, his body covered in knotted scars that were visible beneath his fur.<br /> His claw was the size of Kate&#039;s head as he punched it through her ch#st, ripping her heart out the other side and sending the pack into a flurry of sobs and terrified mumblings for mercy.<br /> &quot;You will do well to teach your pack to respect those above them.&quot; The witch&#039;s voice called out again, but I was trapped staring at Kate&#039;s body as the king pulled his hand out, and it fell to the ground.<br /> I was aware of him walking back to me, but I couldn’t take my eyes away. It was the large hand that grabbed me by my backpack and lifted me off the ground like a doll that brought me back to reality, and I instinctively met the glowing red eyes of the Lycan King.<br /> His deep voice sent a chill through me as he spoke, &quot;Mine.&quot;<br /> ---<br /> Janet&#039;s P.O.V.<br /> <br /> I felt uneasy as soon as I entered the pack house. The way my pack mates were smirking at me, laughing behind their hands... I knew they were up to something. Their pranks and bullying had been getting worse and more painful each time they managed to get me alone. My bruises still hadn&#039;t gone away from the last time.<br /> <br /> My body ached from the beating I had taken two days ago, but I was only a few hours away from it all ending.<br /> <br /> I just needed to get to Calvin before they set their plan into motion.<br /> <br /> Calvin was my boyfriend of four years. He was the only one that cared for me, and the only one I could trust.<br /> <br /> We were high school sweethearts. He was also the next in line to become the Alpha of our pack. That didn&#039;t matter to me, but it did matter to the other women in the pack. They hated that he was with me. They felt that they deserved a stronger Luna than I would be, and they all wanted to be his chosen one.<br /> <br /> I hadn&#039;t even shifted yet. To them, I was no more than an omega...a runt as they liked to call me, the weakest of the litter.<br /> <br /> It should have happened three years ago when I turned sixteen, but it didn&#039;t. Now I was nineteen, the age at which we could recognize our mates as our wolves should have matured by then. Had I shifted, I would have known Calvin was my mate already, but we had to wait the extra two months until today, his nineteenth birthday, for him to recognize me as his mate.<br /> <br /> Calvin didn&#039;t care that I hadn&#039;t turned. We had been together since before either of us were old enough to shift, and we were both positive that we were mates. He stood by me and protected me from the cruelty of the wolves around us when I failed to shift with the others.<br /> <br /> &#039;Calvin? Where are you?&#039; I asked through our pack link but received no response.<br /> <br /> &quot;Poor little human, you have a lot of guts to show up here right now. Do you have any idea how happy the pack is? Having you here will just ruin it. This party is for pack wolves only.&quot; Kate, my sister&#039;s best friend, said as the crowd parted for her, and the music stopped. All of the party guests stopped dancing and talking to watch as the biggest bully in the pack approached me.<br /> <br /> The flashing lights of varying colors continued in the uncomfortable silence.<br /> <br /> I hoped the man of the hour would see the disruption and step forward to my side, but he didn&#039;t. As I glanced around at all of the amused faces, he was nowhere to be seen.<br /> <br /> &quot;Calvin invited me. I am in this pack, and I&#039;m allowed to be here.&quot; I whispered, but I could feel the heat building in the back of my eyes as they all laughed again. Something was going on, and it was more than just Kate running her big mouth.<br /> <br /> &quot;Even he doesn&#039;t want you here.&quot; She sneered before smiling at me widely. &quot;See for yourself. Where is Calvin, hm? I think he went up to his room. You should go bring him back down to the party and see what he has to say.&quot;<br /> <br /> I held his present against my chest tighter as I narrowed my eyes. She was up to something, but I wanted to get to Calvin more than I wanted to deal with her b##lsh!t.<br /> <br /> As I took a step forward, Kate stepped to the side, and I could feel everyone watching me with amusement as I went up the stairs.<br /> <br /> Calvin&#039;s room was at the end of the hall behind double doors, and I rushed toward it. I could hear people coming up the stairs behind me, no doubt being led by Kate, but my salvation was only a few feet away.<br /> <br /> As soon as I got in his room, I could close the door and act as if none of them existed.<br /> <br /> It would just be the two of us.<br /> <br /> There was a stirring in the back of my mind as I wrapped my hand around the cold doorknob. It was a warning, telling me not to go inside. It wanted me to turn around and run, knowing this was a trap. Yet, I turned the knob anyway and pushed the door open.<br /> <br /> The loud moan of the female beneath my boyfriend made me freeze, and I stared wide-eyed at the couple tangled together. <br /> <br /> Calvin thr#st into her quickly, releasing his own groans of pleasure.<br /> <br /> My stomach tied in a knot, and it felt hard to breathe. The small spark of light in my life was extinguished, sending my mind into complete darkness as I processed what I was seeing.<br /> <br /> He lifted his head, meeting my tear-streaked face, but not seeing me as his wolf was in control. His canines extended just before he latched onto her neck, puncturing the skin and marking her as his mate.<br /> <br /> My sister.<br /> <br /> &quot;No,&quot; I whispered as my hand covered my mouth. Calvin pulled back snarling at the disruption.<br /> <br /> &quot;I told you he didn&#039;t want you,&quot; Kate whispered into my ear, and my sister laughed from beneath my boyfriend as she reached up and ran her hand through Calvin&#039;s short blonde hair.<br /> <br /> &quot;Would you mind closing the door, Janet?&quot; Kelly asked innocently, but the malicious look in her narrowed eyes showed she was pleased by her victory over me. Not only had she stolen the love of my life, but she was now to be his Luna. &quot;I&#039;m trying to have a private moment with my mate.&quot;<br /> <br /> Mate.<br /> <br /> The word seemed so empty now. Calvin had hated Kelly. He had watched how mean she was toward me and resented her. Now, he was baring his teeth at me, defending her.<br /> <br /> &quot;How could you?&quot; I choked out as a sob wracked through my ch#st, and the present in my hold dropped to the floor before me. The sudden and loud noise seemed to snap Calvin back into control, and his eyes returned to their normal brown.<br /> <br /> His jaw dropped open as he glanced from me to my sister with guilt, but he didn&#039;t look the least bit regretful. He was happy to have found and marked his mate, he only hated that he had been caught cheating. The torn look on his face only made me angrier as he gasped my name while he pulled out of my sister. She sat up as he climbed to his feet, neither of them ashamed to be seen n&#064;#ed.<br /> <br /> &quot;Janet, I…&quot; He said, stepping forward and causing me to take a step away, only to be pushed back toward him by the crowd of on-lookers.<br /> <br /> I stumbled forward, trying to stay as far away from him as possible.<br /> <br /> The steady stream of tears blurred my vision, and my ch#st hurt as he whispered my name again. &quot;Janet…She’s, my mate.&quot; He finally announced, causing the house to cheer in celebration that their future Luna had been claimed.
