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, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" 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's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "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's back, I won'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." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<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's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna'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's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' 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'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'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!" 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 /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She'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't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<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 /> "AH!" 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's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<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, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<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 /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<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 /> "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!"<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 /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can'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'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!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun'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'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 /> "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!"<br /> Shaun'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'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 /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." 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 /> "Dad, aren'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!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<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'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't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond'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 /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" 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 /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<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's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun'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's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That'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're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<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's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" 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. "Thanks, but I drove here."<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's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" 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 /> "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."<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 /> "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." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<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'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'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, "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's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." 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 /> "Don'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..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond'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 /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "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's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'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's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<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 /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" 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'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 /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" 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 /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<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's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	LEARN_MORE	https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulp	101928486111131	YummyStory	https://facebook.com/100088816688674	194	1	2,576,981,289,143,389	2023-12-16 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	0	1	Learn more	YummyStory	120204011748170506	www.yumread.com	NONE	video		https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulppwrw5wskr1i?ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}}	2023-12-15 04:42	https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/411102092_393774843004015_417448910520034730_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=8rZpD4SpQdYAX-Hmptk&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AfDry21Gf4mmnUY6qgsUmOuRnhIAbY-nHhaVXcwbmxRHBA&oe=6588ACA7	person_profile	YummyStory	https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/411079938_1346859516196665_1377788025915588157_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=A8Acu6EgM5gAX_g8IgA&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AfBdD2glrjeReoAREWPqsawgCuJDRI_0poir_NaK8rUFXA&oe=65892879	3	YummyStory	2023-12-15 02:00	View Edit Delete

You were betrothed to him before you were born, so the Duran family insists that you should marry him."<br /> "There's no need for a wedding. I'll have someone take you to the Duran's place. You'll be Tristan's wife from today on." Miranda Shulman, her stepmother, took a sip of coffee on the sofa, looked up at the rustically dressed girl, and continued lightly, "You should know that we brought you back for this marriage."<br /> "Yes," Renee Fletcher, with dejected eyes, replied in a low voice.<br /> She knew that she was back for the marriage between the Fletcher family and the Duran family. The Fletcher family couldn't bear to see Joanna Fletcher suffer in the Duran family, so they brought Renee back from the countryside.<br /> At the age of 15, Renee learned that she was a true member of the Fletcher family, while Joanna took her place and lived with the Fletcher family for fifteen years. Joanna was intelligent, outstanding, and beautiful, and the Fletcher family had fond feelings toward her. For her sake, the Fletcher family left Renee in the countryside for four years despite knowing the truth.<br /> The Fletcher family finally brought Renee back today, only to let her marry a dead man on Joanna's behalf.<br /> Miranda checked the time and said, "The Duran family's cars should have come. You can leave now."<br /> Renee pursed her lips and muttered, "My dad and my brothers..."<br /> "They are all very busy and don't have time to see you," Miranda said with a frown. "Don't you know that it's Joanna's graduation ceremony today?"<br /> Before Renee could speak again, Miranda impatiently urged, "Alright. Just go."<br /> Several luxury cars were parked outside the Fletcher's villa. Renee got in one of them and left the house where she stayed for less than thirty minutes.<br /> Miranda watched as the cars drove away and sighed, "What rotten luck."<br /> Marla Woods, a maid of the Fletcher family, said, "Renee's biological mother died long ago. You didn't have to come to see her."<br /> Miranda sneered, "So what if her biological mother died? Everyone knows that I'm the hostess of the Fletcher family, but I don't have any children of my own. Anyway, Renee is a legitimate daughter. If I didn't come, others would gossip behind my back.<br /> "Well, let's not talk about this. After what happened to the Duran family, who knows if Renee can survive there? As her stepmother, I have to come to see her for the last time."<br /> ***<br /> The Duran family, boasting a history of hundreds of years, was the most prestigious in Ampleshire. Now, their mansion was permeated with a solemn atmosphere with flags hung in the hall. Servants were dressed in black, and many guests came to offer their condolences. It was truly absurd that Renee came as Tristan's wife.<br /> "Is that Mr. Duran's wife? She should've just come back from the countryside. Look how vulgar she is," a guest whispered.<br /> "Mr. Duran's grandma loved him dearly. He didn't get married when he was alive, so she decided to marry this girl to him after his death. That's why... This girl is unlucky."<br /> "I don't think so. Since Mr. Duran is dead, she can live longer in the Duran's place. But if Mr. Duran was alive, I bet she couldn't live here for more than three days!"<br /> Hyman Hayes, the butler of the Duran family, seemed to have not heard these discussions. He led Renee into the mourning hall and said expressionlessly, "Mrs. Duran, please kneel and guard the coffin here."<br /> Renee obediently knelt on the cushion. As she looked up, she saw a black coffin and a black-and-white portrait in its front.<br /> Chapter 2 My Fiancée<br /> When Tristan was alive, he was influential in Ampleshire. He was unpredictable, ruthless, and tyrannical, being the terror of all people. After his death, he still looked murderous in his portrait.<br /> But he was good-looking. One could see his sharp features even from his portrait. His cold and emotionless eyes made people dare not look at him, so very few people noticed a small mole below the corner of his left eye.<br /> Frightened by the look in Tristan's eyes, Renee lowered her head. Hyman said, "Mrs. Duran, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."<br /> Renee nodded.<br /> Hyman then left quickly. Renee remained kneeling in place. Everyone who came to offer comfort would take a glance at Renee, either indifferently or curiously. It wasn't until late at night that the mourning hall quieted down, and the servants had gone to sleep in their rooms.<br /> Renee was left alone in the mourning hall. Tristan's coffin was less than three meters away.<br /> Renee didn't have any food or water the whole day, and her knees were sore from kneeling. After confirming that there was no one around, she stood up and gently pounded her knees.<br /> It was already June, but Renee still felt a bit cold in a thin dress. The wind brought a faint floral fragrance. Renee touched her stomach.<br /> She was starving.<br /> Renee's eyes were glued to the fruits and pastries on the table. After hesitating for a while, she walked over, bowed with her hands clasped together, and said softly, "I'm hungry. Please lend me an apple. I'll pay you back later."<br /> She reached out. When she was about to touch the apple, her wrist was grasped by a big hand with distinct joints.<br /> Renee was startled, with goosebumps on her back. She hurriedly said, "I'm sorry. I'm starving. I..."<br /> She thought she was caught by a servant of the Duran family, but after she apologized, she heard a casual but pleasant voice say, "Did you get my permission to steal my apple?"<br /> Renee was stunned.<br /> Those things were for Tristan. Why did this person say that?<br /> Renee stiffened and raised her head little by little, only to see a tall man.<br /> The man wore a black shirt and had wide shoulders, a narrow waist, and a faint smell of blood. His face was handsome and sharp, and there was a small yet inexplicably beautifu mole under the corner of his left eye.<br /> Renee widened her eyes and said, "You're..."<br /> Tristan arched an eyebrow and glanced at the petite girl in a rustic dress. Her long hair flopped over her face, making it difficult for Tristan to see her clearly. Such an ordinary girl would easily get lost in the crowd.<br /> "Are you my..." Tristan paused and continued, "fiancée?"<br /> Renee burst into tears and sobbed, "I'm hungry. Boohoo... Why are you so stingy? I just want to eat an apple, but you turn into a ghost and scare me..."<br /> Renee's cry was so loud. "Tsk." Tristan covered Renee's mouth with one hand and put the other around her waist. Then he lifted Renee onto the coffin effortlessly and said in a deep voice, "Stop crying, or I'll break your legs."<br /> Renee nodded with tears in her eyes.<br /> Tristan loosened his grip and asked, "How old are you? Can't you tell whether I'm alive or dead?"<br /> Chapter 3 Hide in the Coffin<br /> Only then did Renee realize that the man in front of her had a normal temperature, and he felt a bit hot.<br /> "You're not dead..." Renee hurriedly turned to look at the coffin where she was sitting. "So..."<br /> Tristan glanced at the coffin and raised his eyebrows. "I'm also curious about what's inside. Do you want to take a look?"<br /> Renee was so scared that she threw herself into Tristan's arms. "No, I don't... Put me down..."<br /> Tristan thought that Renee was like a bunny kicking its legs. He wasn't a good person in the first place, so he asked coldly, "Do you know what other people say about me?"<br /> Renee nodded.<br /> "If you make me angry, I'll have someone put you in the coffin," Tristan threatened in an arctic voice. "You'll be buried alive."<br /> Renee was shocked.<br /> Tristan lifted Renee down the coffin. As soon as Renee found her footing, she wanted to run away, but Tristan took her by the collar and pulled her back. "Stand here and watch."<br /> Renee didn't want to see what was inside the coffin at all. She said in a low voice, "Mr. Duran, this is your coffin. Don't you know what's inside?"<br /> "I just came back from finishing my work," Tristan sneered. "I didn't expect to attend my funeral."<br /> It seemed that those people really wanted Tristan to die. They got some false news and immediately held a funeral for him.<br /> The coffin wasn't sealed, so Tristan could push the lid open easily. Renee closed her eyes right away, but Tristan sneered, "There are just a few clothes. What's there to be afraid of?"<br /> Renee's eyelashes fluttered. She screwed up her courage and opened her eyes, only to see a few clothes in the coffin.<br /> Before Renee could speak, she heard footsteps. Tristan frowned and looked outside the mourning hall. The next thing Renee knew, she was pulled into the coffin.<br /> Renee opened her eyes wide. Tristan rested one hand on the coffin and climbed in. The coffin was more than enough for a person, but it was too crowded for the two of them. Tristan was tall with long legs. When he closed the coffin, Renee was forced to curl up in his arms, and she could hear his heartbeat.<br /> "Mr. Duran..."<br /> Tristan covered Renee's mouth in the darkness, forcing her to swallow her words.<br /> "It's strange..." a voice said in the mourning hall. "Where's the girl from the Fletcher family?"<br /> "No one wants to stay in the mourning hall in the middle of the night. She may have gone somewhere else."<br /> "What bad luck..." someone spat. "Why are we assigned to replace the wick?"<br /> "Stop that," said the other person in a low voice. "When Mr. Duran was alive, everyone was afraid of him. Now that he's dead, he may have turned into a ferocious ghost. If he hears what you said..."<br /> There was a moment of silence, followed by a rustling sound. The two servants should have replaced the wick. "Let's go. This place may bring us bad luck."<br /> As the sound of footsteps faded away, Tristan moved his hand away from Renee's mouth. Renee's face turned red. Tristan asked, "Why do you smell so good?"<br /> Renee was stunned.<br /> "Do you wear perfume?" Tristan frowned.<br /> The two of them were jammed in the narrow coffin. Tristan spoke in Renee's ear, making Renee's ear redden. She grasped her hem and said, "No, no."<br /> But she indeed smelt good.<br /> The air was filled with her sweet scent.<br /> "Mr. Duran..." Renee began in a low voice, "Why do we have to hide in the coffin?"<br /> Chapter 4 She's My Wife<br /> "If they saw me, I'd make headlines tomorrow," said Tristan coldly.<br /> "But..." Renee stated seriously. "You don't need to bring me along."<br /> Tristan was rendered speechless.<br /> "Tsk. I forgot it," he thought to himself.<br /> Renee moved uncomfortably. "Let's go out."<br /> Tristan pushed open the coffin and climbed out of it. Renee was sweaty, so her soft hair was plastered to her fair cheeks. She panted heavily and leaned over the coffin, looking pitifully at Tristan. "Mr. Duran, I can't get out on my own."<br /> Tristan leaned against the coffin and casually remarked, "It's none of my business."<br /> Renee was about to cry in anger. "But you pulled me in..."<br /> Tristan remained indifferent. "So what?"<br /> Renee snapped incredulously, "You're being unreasonable!"<br /> No one dared to talk to Tristan like this over the years. Renee had just returned from the countryside and hadn't seen much of the world, so she didn't know how influential Tristan was in Ampleshire and dared to accuse him.<br /> Tristan narrowed his eyes and bent over to look at Renee. "I can help you out."<br /> Renee's eyes lit up.<br /> Tristan smiled, "What did you just call me?"<br /> Renee bit her lip and replied, "Mr. Duran. Everyone calls you that."<br /> "They're not related to me," Tristan said. "You're my wife, not one of them."<br /> Renee was stunned. "What should I call you then?"<br /> Tristan raised his eyebrows. His handsome face appeared alluring in the moonlight. "Think about it yourself."<br /> Renee blushed.<br /> "Mr. Duran," Shelton Quinn, Tristan's assistant, called out. When he saw Tristan, he breathed a sigh of relief. "What are you doing here? The news of your death has spread. Everyone is anxiously waiting for you."<br /> Tristan said, "I've never attended my funeral before, so I wanted to experience it."<br /> He glanced at Renee, who was still sitting dumbfounded in the coffin, and turned around to leave. "Since they're waiting for me, I have to..."<br /> Before he could finish speaking, Renee choked out, "Honey... Boohoo. Please help me out..."<br /> Tristan paused. Shelton widened his eyes and repeated, "Honey?"<br /> Tristan laughed and looked back at Renee. "So you know what you should call me, right?"<br /> Renee was worried that Tristan would leave her in the coffin. Her nose turned red from crying. She extended her hand and pleaded, "Honey..."<br /> Tristan suppressed his laughter. Renee did whatever she was asked to like an obedient bunny.<br /> Tristan reached out and helped Renee out. When he turned around, he saw Shelton's surprised look. "Mr. Duran, I didn't know you liked this."<br /> Shelton began to imagine what Tristan and Renee did in the coffin.<br /> Tristan's face darkened as he asked icily, "Don't you know her?"<br /> Shelton was enlightened. "Oh, she's from the Fletcher family..."<br /> "Hmm." Tristan placed Renee on the ground. Renee wiped her tears when Tristan pinched her soft cheek. "Don't tell anyone that I'm still alive."<br /> Renee nodded.<br /> Her cheek was quite soft and tender, so Tristan pinched it mischievously again. Seeing Renee scrunch her brows, he finally let go of her and stuffed the apple into her mouth. He said cheerfully, "Shelton, she's my wife from now on, got it?"<br /> <br /> Book ID：4897	INSTALL_MOBILE_APP	http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.z	131765466694785	FavorNovel	https://facebook.com/FavorNovel	498	0	1,547,396,726,020,877	2023-12-19 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	1	Install now	FavorNovel	120204774769480385	play.google.com	NONE	image	Read good romance novels and dive in Love stories.	http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zhangyue.read.favornovel	2023-12-15 03:38	https://scontent.fjan1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/410829973_865898688337771_6853952824927292049_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=KUrOs8RdbFwAX8OWlIy&_nc_ht=scontent.fjan1-1.fna&oh=00_AfAP1VgIMtelQPa0hNh2PCIDjuxZgQUvjgS2-8OTzzeVnA&oe=65887735	person_profile	FavorNovel	https://scontent.fjan1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/410802780_893049512408465_9042337623591056054_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=HgBd0A-8dUwAX_GFr18&_nc_ht=scontent.fjan1-1.fna&oh=00_AfBxBtXpOgBh6RKYSxzzm28-Y3w5_quLjxvl14Z9bsITRg&oe=6587E6E4	3	FavorNovel	2023-12-15 02:00	View Edit Delete

Her delicate features were etched with a chill that resembled the precision of a carefully sculpted statue. "Mom, ten years have passed since that day. I've stuck to your advice and kept myself in check all these years. Tomorrow, I'm going back to the Anworths."<br /> Enveloped in silence, she could only hear the wind whispering through the trees.<br /> "Boom!"<br /> A sudden, jarring sound drew Yvonne's attention, prompting her to subtly turn her head. Her mesmerizing eyes narrowed as she gazed towards the source of the noise, not too far from her.<br /> A black car with a deflated tire sat lopsided on the roadside.<br /> A man dressed in black sportswear emerged from the car. His gait was unsteady, suggesting an injury.<br /> A group of about a dozen people dressed in black attire trailed behind him.<br /> Brandon Hart glanced over his shoulder, his face stern and cold. He clutched his aching stomach, and his lips drained of color. He exuded an aura of pain and suffering.<br /> "Don't even think about running! We paid a fortune for you, and you're not going anywhere." The menacing figure in black said as he closed in on the shivering figure before him. The leader's face was devoid of emotion, his eyes cold and calculating, radiating an aura of pure malice.<br /> "Just you guys?" Brandon's eyes narrowed, his voice like a frosty dagger.<br /> The pain from his stomach shot up to his head. He could feel the blood seeping out, making him doubt if he could hold on much longer.<br /> "Alright, let's get this over with," the leader of the black-clad people said and attacked Brandon.<br /> "Huh?"<br /> Suddenly, a stone came whizzing out of nowhere and struck the black-clad person in the arm. His hand trembled, and he crumpled to the ground.<br /> The black-clad person's expression morphed into a mask of fury, a low rumble emanating from their chest. "Who's there?"<br /> Yvonne spoke in a calm, emotionless tone, "You've interrupted my mom's peace. Take your fight elsewhere!"<br /> A crowd of people gazed intently at Yvonne, their faces grave.<br /> Even Brandon, known for his menacing glare, couldn't mask his astonishment.<br /> Despite their formidable reputations as international assassins, capable of vanquishing multiple foes, the group succumbed to the might of a mere stone hurled by a teenage girl.<br /> That girl was off the charts!<br /> "Back off, or you're toast!" The leader's eyes turned icy as he ordered, "Kill her!"<br /> The rest of the crowd surged forward in an instant.<br /> Yvonne's gaze grew icy, her eyes like shards of ice.<br /> "Watch out!" Brandon had already sprung into action before the black-clad people rushed towards Yvonne.<br /> But Brandon's feet halted abruptly, his dark eyes widening in disbelief.<br /> The assassins were no match for Yvonne. They all fell before her without even having a chance to attack.<br /> And she didn't budge an inch. Her face was undisturbed, and her eyes steady.<br /> If it weren't for her hands that had not yet been withdrawn, Brandon would have thought he was hallucinating.<br /> "Get lost!" Yvonne tilted her chin up slightly, her voice icy.<br /> The men in black stared at her like she was some kind of ghost, their faces etched with confusion and a hint of fear. "Who the hell are you? And what's your deal?"<br /> The cause of their fall remained a mystery to them.<br /> All they recalled was the girl raising her hand and releasing a powdery substance, followed by their sudden descent.<br /> And they didn't even touch a single strand of the girl's hair.<br /> As Yvonne remained silent, the black-clad men collapsed to the ground, unconscious.<br /> Yvonne cast a fleeting glance at their fallen forms before raising her gaze to Brandon, who stood nearby.<br /> Brandon's heart skipped a beat as her clear, moonlit eyes met his.<br /> Regaining his composure, he approached her and spoke softly, "Thank you."<br /> Yvonne gave him a cold stare and curtly declared, "I'm not saving you!"<br /> Her only desire was to avoid being bothered and to have a conversation with her mother.<br /> As Yvonne uttered those words, she turned around and strode away. Her hand reached out to gently caress the tombstone surface. "I gotta go, Mom. May you rest in peace."<br /> As she was about to walk away, Brandon stopped her and asked, "Hey, what's your name? I'd like to return the favor someday."<br /> "I never intended to save you," Yvonne waved her hand and kept walking.<br /> "Wait ... ouch!" Brandon didn't even get to finish his sentence and collapsed on the ground.<br /> Yvonne turned back. Her brow furrowed in confusion before resuming her walk.<br /> Out of nowhere, a gust of wind swirled around her, making Yvonne halt in her steps. She glanced up at the unmarked gravestone and asked, "Do you want me to save him?" But the only answer was the wind's whisper. For a moment, Yvonne stayed silent, her voice laced with a hint of helplessness, "Alright, I'll save him."<br /> Yvonne crouched beside Brandon and gently raised his shirt. She immediately noticed that he had a severe wound on his stomach.<br /> But it wasn't a big problem.<br /> She retrieved a small bottle from her bag and sprinkled some medicinal powder on it. Then, she took out another bottle and fed a pill to Brandon.<br /> Brandon would be astonished to see the rare and valuable healing pill lying before him. It is a highly sought-after item in the black market, with each pill fetching an astounding price of 750,000 dollars. However, due to its scarcity, it is almost impossible to find on the market.<br /> After Brandon took the pill, Yvonne immediately turned and left.<br /> Queenstown, the Anworths mansion.<br /> "She's banned from this house as long as I'm alive!" a booming voice echoed through the mansion.<br /> In the middle of the living room, Yvonne raised her eyes slightly and gazed serenely at the enraged Madam Anworth. Her peach blossom eyes, usually bright and expressive, were now modestly lowered, concealing a depth of composure.<br /> Unnoticed by anyone, a sly grin appeared on her lips.<br /> Having just returned home with her father, Thomas Anworth, Yvonne was immediately summoned to the old mansion by Madam Anworth, who had already heard the news of their arrival.<br /> Madam Anworth's immediate disapproval of Yvonne's return was evident as soon as she stepped into the room.<br /> "Ugh, Mom! Yvonne is my daughter. She's your grandchild."<br /> Thomas stood with his hands clenched at his sides. His jaw was set, and his shoulders tense.<br /> After a decade of searching, he was overjoyed to finally reunite with his daughter. But he was caught off guard when his mother refused to allow Yvonne to return home. In front of the entire family, she even disrespected Yvonne.<br /> "She doesn't deserve a shred of recognition from me! I'll never give her the time of day!" Madam Anworth's hand struck the table with a resounding thud, her glare as sharp as a blade aimed at Yvonne's heart.<br /> Yvonne lifted her head, briefly encountering Madam Anworth's gaze before looking away once more. She remained unfazed by Madam Anworth's scrutiny.<br /> Thomas suddenly raised his head and declared with determination, "Now that I've found Yvonne, I'll never let her go again. Our family is broken beyond repair, so stay out of my personal life!"<br /> "How dare you!" Madam Anworth shot up from her chair, her eyes blazing. "If you even think about bringing her back, I'll kick you out of your current position and take back every share you own!"<br /> Thomas sneered and said, "Position? Shares? Mom, I'm just a lowly manager in the company now, making a basic salary of 600 dollars a month. I'm not the one who wants to quit, it's you! And as for the shares, didn't you already take them all back?'"<br /> "You!" Madam Anworth gritted her teeth as she said, "Are you deliberately trying to oppose me?"<br /> She was stunned to see her typically weak and incompetent son defy her wishes time and again for the sake of Yvonne.<br /> She was certain that Yvonne and her late mother were up to no good, trying to stir up trouble between her and her son.<br /> Just as Thomas was about to say something, Hannah Anworth, who had been quiet for a while, spoke up, "Grandma, do you agree to let Yvonne come back?"<br /> "Hmm!" Grandma's expression softened a bit when she saw Hannah. But she still coldly snorted, "Let Yvonne come back? Forget about it!'"<br /> "But Yvonne is Mr. Hart's fiancée," Hannah blinked her eyes, her lips curled up into a mischievous grin.<br /> Chapter 2 Ending the Engagement<br /> 、The room was suddenly filled with an eerie silence.<br /> "What are you talking about? Brandon's fiancée isn't ...," Grandma paused and abruptly stood up. "Oh, wait, I remember now! Yvonne is the one engaged to the Harts. Now that she's back, you don't have to marry Brandon anymore."<br /> It was widely acknowledged that Brandon Hart, the seventh son of the Harts, was an indolent person who lacked seriousness and frittered away his time.<br /> Master Hart has a deep affection for Brandon, particularly since Brandon heroically saved him two years ago, resulting in Brandon's disability. Since that incident, Master Hart has showered Brandon with even more love and attention.<br /> And Brandon's lavish spending habits have escalated, as he recklessly disposes of the money generously given to him by his parents and Master Hart.<br /> But for some unexplained reason, a representative from the Anworths recently approached the Harts and informed them that their young lady was engaged to Brandon and that they expected the Harts to honor the engagement.<br /> Isn't Hannah the young lady of the Anworths?<br /> Madam Anworth's anxiety stemmed from her concerns about Hannah's future. Despite the Anworths' lower social standing compared to the Harts, Madam Anworth had nurtured Hannah since she was a child. She believed that Hannah deserved to marry someone more prominent who could elevate the Anworths' position.<br /> Despite Brandon's lavish lifestyle courtesy of his grandfather, he lacked true influence. The wealth he possessed originated from his parents and Master Hart's generosity.<br /> Remember, money could run out. Once he spent it all and there was nothing left, he would be left with nothing but to rely on the generosity of others for basic necessities.<br /> Despite Madam Anworth's objections, the Harts had been committed to their engagement and couldn't simply call it off. So, Madam Anworth sought strategies to terminate the impending union gracefully.<br /> With Yvonne's return, the engagement could proceed as planned. Yvonne's background as a simple country girl made her an appropriate match for Brandon, who had physical limitations. Besides, the Anworths could benefit from a union with the Hart family, achieving two advantages simultaneously.<br /> With this in mind, Madam Anworth wasted no time and said, "Fine, let Yvonne come back. But she's got a month to learn some manners before she gets engaged to Brandon. We don't want any embarrassing moments at the ceremony."<br /> Thomas and Joanna Lloyd were dumbfounded, their eyes wide with disbelief as they gazed at the old lady.<br /> They were still struggling to process Hannah's earlier statement.<br /> Soon, Thomas raised his head abruptly, "What engagement ceremony? The one engaged to Brandon isn't ..."<br /> "Yvonne is the young lady of the Anworths. It's her who is engaged to the Harts. Now that she's back, it's only natural to fulfill the engagement."<br /> Joanna's expression darkened upon hearing the news. She turned to Yvonne with a sympathetic gaze.<br /> Her mother-in-law was clearly up to something.<br /> Her willingness to let Yvonne back into their lives hints at her covert motivations.<br /> Everyone knew that Brandon had a disability.<br /> She once opposed Hannah marrying Brandon, but now she supported Yvonne marrying him.<br /> "I disagree!" Thomas's voice boomed with fury, his features contorted in a rage. "It's obvious that Hannah is the one who got engaged to Brandon."<br /> "Dad, I'm not saying I don't want to marry Brandon, but Yvonne is the eldest daughter from the Anworths. If I get married to Brandon and the Harts find out about it, they'll be furious with us for keeping it a secret." Hannah's tone was vague, and she looked down slightly, a sly look crossing her face.<br /> "Right!" Madam Anworth immediately nodded, "The Harts are a powerful family, and we don't want to mess with them."<br /> "You all!" Thomas's face went all red. He was furious.<br /> But Madam Anworth ignored him and turned to Yvonne. "If you wish to return to the Anworths, you must get engaged to Brandon."<br /> Yvonne raised her eyes to meet Madam Anworth's gaze. Her bright and captivating eyes sparkled faintly.<br /> After a moment, with a dainty smile, she took a breath and coolly replied, "Alright. I'm in for the engagement!"<br /> She must come back to the Anworths!<br /> Her lips curled into a subtle, enigmatic smile as she contemplated her engagement. Her return to the Anworths coincided with an opportune moment to gracefully dissolve her engagement to Brandon.<br /> After leaving the old mansion of the Anworths, Yvonne followed Thomas and Joanna back to their own home.<br /> Eight years ago, Thomas's grandmother forced him to leave the old mansion, and his family has since relocated to Newton Residential Area, a secluded neighborhood far from the city's bustle.<br /> The neighborhood had been quite antiquated, and the walls of the buildings were deteriorating, possibly due to the passage of time.<br /> Thomas's family resided in an apartment with three bedrooms.<br /> Upon greeting Thomas, Yvonne headed towards the bedroom.<br /> She just returned home, and her belongings haven't been unpacked yet.<br /> The moment she stepped into the bedroom, an insistent knock echoed through the room.<br /> She got up and headed towards the door. As she swung it open, she found Thomas and Joanna standing awkwardly, unsure of what to say.<br /> "Do you need something, Mr. Anworth?" Yvonne stepped aside to let Thomas come in.<br /> "Yeah, I do, actually." Thomas pursed his lips, unsure how to start.<br /> "What's the matter? Just tell me." Yvonne gestured for Thomas to sit down while she herself stood.<br /> "I want to cancel the wedding on your behalf."<br /> Yvonne's eyebrows shot up, her eyes wide with surprise.<br /> Joanna approached her, gently grasped her hand, and took a seat on the bed. Then, she said softly, "Listen. Your father believes that marriage is a lifelong commitment, and Brandon has a disability. If you marry him, you'll be responsible for his care for the rest of your life. He wants you to find someone with a good heart, someone who will truly love and protect you forever."<br /> Joanna paused for a moment and continued, "But this marriage was arranged by your mother after all. So, we still need to hear your thoughts on it."<br /> Although she had never been in contact with Yvonne, she felt sorry for her.<br /> Brandon was not the right match for her.<br /> So what if the Harts were wealthy and powerful?<br /> If Yvonne makes that decision, the consequences will be devastating and irreversible. It would be a mistake with a lasting negative impact on her life.<br /> Yvonne looked at Joanna, a hint of a smile appearing on her cold cheeks. "Well, I was planning on cancelling him."<br /> Joanna was Thomas's second wife and also her stepmother.<br /> After the brief interaction she had with her, Yvonne didn't feel repulsed.<br /> She could also tell that Thomas and Joanna were genuinely considering her.<br /> "That's good!" Thomas stood up excitedly. "I'm calling the Harts right now to cancel that wedding!"<br /> Mount Elvern.<br /> In the depths of the mountain forest, three figures stood solemnly before a nameless grave.<br /> The man on the left, dressed in trendy clothes and sporting an earring, turned to the slender man beside him. "Mr. Hart, it's been two days, and that girl still hasn't come. I don't think she'll come. Let's go."<br /> "Just wait a little longer." The man in the middle narrowed his eyes and looked at the nameless grave before him. A layer of light shimmered under his dark eyes.<br /> He was dressed in casual black clothes, and his messy hair covered half of his eyelids. His exquisite, handsome face carried a hint of coldness and arrogance. He was the seventh son of the Harts, the useless son who was saved by Yvonne.<br /> Brandon Hart!<br /> The person who spoke first was Yorky Smith, the third son of the Smiths in Norbury.<br /> "Don't wait any longer. If you keep waiting, you'll miss the engagement with Miss Anworth from the Anworths." Yorky touched his earlobe and chuckled, "Miss Anworth is a talented woman from Queenstown. Besides, you've been engaged to her since childhood. Your grandfather has repeatedly emphasized that the engagement ceremony must not go wrong."<br /> A faint curve appeared at the ice-cold corner of Brandon's lips. "Has the engagement with the Anworths been canceled?"<br /> "Even if you were cripple and the biggest loser on Earth, would the Anworths dare to break off their engagement with the Harts, the most powerful family in Norbury? And let's be honest, you're not exactly a loser anyway!"<br /> It was hard to imagine the Anworths calling off the marriage if they knew Brandon was neither disabled nor useless!<br /> "Oh." Brandon's eyes dimmed.<br /> They did not cancel the engagement!<br /> It was not fun anymore!<br /> Sensing futility in his words, Yorky sealed his lips on the matter.<br /> He decided not to mention this topic anymore. "Since finding your savior seems impossible, let's move on. We can still save Helena once we find my senior."<br /> Brandon cast him a sidelong glance, a flicker of doubt crossing his eyes. "Your senior? Are you sure she exists?"<br /> Yorky was left speechless and couldn't come up with a response.<br /> After a while, he exclaimed in frustration, "Of course she exists! My senior is totally drop-dead gorgeous and has a heart of gold. And don't even get me started on her skills as a doctor. She's like a walking miracle! She can practically raise the dead and mend broken bones ..."<br /> Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the person standing on Brandon's right side. "Mr. Smith, you don't even know her name, what she looks like. And yet, you're making her out to be some kind of mythical creature. Is this 'senior' of yours even real? Instead of wasting time looking for her, it would be better to wait for the Black Alliance to contact the mysterious divine doctor."<br /> Raise the dead and mend broken bones?<br /> Even the esteemed professors at the Medical Research Institute wouldn't even dare claim such skills.<br /> Yorky exclaimed excitedly, "You're talking nonsense! You think I'm making things up, huh? My senior is real! But that mysterious divine doctor is like a phantom, appearing and disappearing at will. Only treat patients on a whim. We've searched for ages with no success. Who even knows if that doctor accepts patients anymore?"<br /> "I suspect he's completely incompetent! His medical skills are not even as good as my senior!"<br /> This person was ignorant!<br /> How could an ordinary person like him understand his senior?<br /> Although his senior never mentioned his name and knowing she had changed after a decade, he was certain he would recognize his senior the moment he laid eyes on her.<br /> "Fine, fine, I'll take your word for it." Franco Kelmer had it up to here arguing with Yorky. Mainly because he was kinda creepily obsessed with his senior.<br /> Brandon gave them both a quick look, then looked away and bowed to the nameless tombstone as he said, "Alright, let's go!"<br /> "Mr. Hart, where are we going?" Franco asked.<br /> Brandon's lips twitched into a faint smile. "Queenstown. I'll convince my fiancée to break off our engagement!"<br /> Chapter 3 Are You Trying to Lecture Me?<br /> On the other side.<br /> Newton Residential Area.<br /> Just as Thomas was about to contact the Harts and call off the engagement, an unexpected visitor interrupted him with a ring of the doorbell.<br /> Thomas and Joanna rose to see who was at the door.<br /> Yvonne rose and joined the others outside. Guests had arrived, and her duty was to extend a warm welcome, as courtesy demanded.<br /> Upon reaching the door, she discovered it was Hannah standing before it.<br /> Thomas and Joanna were both taken aback, and even Yvonne couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.<br /> Hannah was already there, knocking on the door just moments after she had left the old mansion.<br /> "Hi, Mom and Dad! I came to visit and also wanted to see Yvonne. I even brought her some clothes," Hannah said, a sweet smile revealed as she stood in her light-colored dress with her hair tied back on both sides.<br /> She radiated an air of quiet grace and elegance.<br /> Joanna glanced at the bag in Hannah's hand, and her expression changed.<br /> Madam Anworth bought these clothes for Hannah, but many of them were only worn once and then forgotten.<br /> This Hannah ....<br /> "That's thoughtful of you," Joanna remarked, taking the bag from Hannah's hand and placing it on the cupboard.<br /> "Why are you here all of a sudden?" Thomas asked, his face darkening with suspicion as he noticed the bag in Hannah's hand.<br /> Hannah's eyes welled up. She looked at Thomas with a mixture of hurt and understanding as she said, "Dad, I know you just reunited with Yvonne and want to focus on her. You probably don't want to see me right now, but ... Grandma insisted I come and teach her some of the rules of our family."<br /> Thomas's eyebrows furrowed tightly, his gaze at Hannah carried some impatience.<br /> Here we go again!<br /> For years, whenever she visited them, tears would stream down her face as though she had endured some terrible injustice.<br /> Could it have been that after receiving the favor of Madam Anworth, she looked down on her foster parents?<br /> Who would have wanted to see it like that then?<br /> Thomas's anger flared inexplicably. "What kind of rules are you teaching?" he thundered. "Yvonne knows perfectly well how to behave. She doesn't need your instruction! She's not marrying the emperor and becoming a concubine, so why all the fuss over rules?"<br /> "Hahaha!" Yvonne found Thomas's words unexpectedly funny and couldn't help but burst into laughter.<br /> It was clear Mr. Anworth had a humorous side.<br /> Hannah blushed beet red, looking down and nervously biting her lip. "Dad," she mumbled, "That's not what I meant at all. I just ..."<br /> "Fine. Go tell your grandmother that I'll cancel the engagement with the Harts. Since she looks down on Yvonne, she shouldn't care about her manners." Thomas cut her off, his voice laced with irritation.<br /> "What did you just say? You want to cancel the engagement!" Hannah couldn't pretend anymore. She gripped her skirt tightly, and the hatred in her eyes was about to erupt.<br /> What a hypocrite!<br /> Ridiculous!<br /> The treatment was indeed different for his own children.<br /> Initially, the Harts thought she was the one who was engaged to Brandon. And when they forced her to marry him, she secretly expressed her reluctance to marry Brandon. But what did Thomas say about it?<br /> He said he wouldn't be in charge of this household, and whether to do the engagement or not would be decided by Madam Anworth.<br /> But what about now?<br /> Just after Yvonne returned, Thomas was impatient to end this engagement. Why wasn't he saying that he's not in charge of this household anymore?<br /> "Exactly! Yvonne is just nineteen, and I just managed to bring her back. It's impossible for her to get married," Thomas said with a serious expression, "Go and tell your grandmother to stop thinking about Yvonne."<br /> He was well aware of what was going on in his mother's mind.<br /> While he used to be agreeable on all matters, there's no room for discussion when it came to Yvonne.<br /> He would confront anyone who dared to have bad intentions towards Yvonne without hesitation.<br /> "But ..." Hannah nervously bit her lip, expressing some reluctance, "Yvonne has agreed to marry Mr. Hart. If she backs out, the Harts will hold us responsible. Offending the Harts would mean trouble for us."<br /> Hannah looked at Yvonne and said softly, "Yvonne, you don't want the Anworths to face problems, right? This is what Grandpa worked tirelessly for all his life. If something goes wrong because of you ..."<br /> She intentionally stopped speaking midway through her sentence.<br /> In response, Yvonne's captivating eyes lifted slightly, and her red lips formed a subtle smile. "Indeed, I have no desire to get married. Why don't you consider marrying him?"<br /> Hannah's body tensed for a moment, and her face briefly struggled to maintain composure.<br /> Who would willingly marry the disabled Brandon?<br /> She was a talented woman in Queenstown, achieving considerable success in various fields. Now, she was the top student in Fort Hill of Queenstown. With a promising future ahead, it was disheartening to think it could be jeopardized by association with that disabled person.<br /> What did Yvonne imply?<br /> Was she intentionally trying to upset her?<br /> "Yvonne, your joke is far from amusing," remarked Hannah with a forced smile, appearing quite unappealing.<br /> Yvonne blinked and looked at her with a tilted head. "I'm not joking!"<br /> Hannah was furious.<br /> She almost couldn't resist slapping Yvonne!<br /> Exploited every opening to benefit yourself, even when offered the benefit freely?<br /> Hannah's tone abruptly escalated as she emphasized, "You're the eldest daughter of the Anworths!" The malice in her eyes grew even more profound.<br /> "Oh, really?" Yvonne responded with a calm expression. "So you, a spoiled child, are trying to lecture me on handling things?"<br /> "You!" Hannah's hands clenched tightly at her sides. Shortly after, she took a deep breath and chuckled lightly, saying, "Yvonne, you've misunderstood. How could I dare to lecture you? It's Grandma who mentioned that the engagement with the Harts is a significant matter. Besides, after the engagement, the Harts will invest a substantial amount in our company. So, we absolutely cannot break off the engagement."<br /> Without waiting for Yvonne to respond, Hannah stood up and said, "Dad, I'll be heading to the company soon, so I won't stay long. When Grandma came, she wanted me to tell you that she disagreed with Yvonne canceling the engagement with Mr. Hart. If you insist on doing so, she'll take back this house."<br /> Madam Anworth certainly never said such things. Hannah took it upon herself to say these things.<br /> But she had the ability to influence Madam Anworth's attitude before Thomas approached her.<br /> Thomas's facial expression changed, and as he was about to respond, Hannah had already left.<br /> Chapter 4 Looked It Up<br /> Following Hannah's departure, Thomas expressed his frustration by forcefully placing the cup on the table, exclaiming, "This is absolutely outrageous!"<br /> Joanna poured him a glass of water and consoled him, saying, "Come on, don't be upset. This child's heart has long been elsewhere. Getting angry won't change anything."<br /> Hannah was a child they had adopted eight years ago.<br /> During that time, Thomas's sole focus was on searching for Yvonne. After an extensive but unsuccessful search, he coincidentally came across Hannah.<br /> Her facial features share a certain similarity with Yvonne. Feeling a longing for Yvonne and pity for Hannah, Thomas decided to adopt her.<br /> Hannah was obedient and sensible. She had a sweet mouth, and knew how to make people happy.<br /> She had Madam Anworth wrapped around her finger.<br /> After two years of adoption, Madam Anworth took personal responsibility for raising Hannah. In a short span, she transformed into a highly admired and accomplished woman in Queenstown, causing many people to envy her.<br /> But ever since Hannah started following Madam Anworth, she looked down on them. Although it didn't show on the surface, the words she uttered always hit people in the heart.<br /> Thomas and Joanna were not naive. Over time, they grasped Hannah's intentions. Consequently, their interactions with Hannah naturally dwindled.<br /> "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have adopted her!" Thomas lamented, beating his chest and regretting his decision.<br /> "You had good intentions back then," Joanna glanced at Yvonne and said, "Now the problem is how to cancel the engagement! According to Mom's stance, she's set on marrying Yvonne off, and if we don't agree, she might not accept it gracefully."<br /> "I've made up my mind to end this engagement. Even if Mom takes back the house, I refuse to believe that, as an adult, I can't provide for a wife and child."<br /> Joanna sighed.<br /> It seemed likely that in this Queenstown, Madam Anworth wouldn't offer them a place to stay.<br /> With her head bowed, Yvonne focused on the information displayed on her mobile phone.<br /> The page showcased details about Brandon.<br /> As a prominent figure in the Harts, Brandon's profile was indeed quite impressive.<br /> It had everything except for photos.<br /> Even the phone number was included on his profile.<br /> "Mr. Anworth, there's no need to feel troubled. I can initiate the divorce myself," Yvonne said, raising her head with a graceful smile on her soft face. "Don't worry about having a place to stay. I'll buy a house for you."<br /> Considering Mr. Anworth and his wife's good treatment towards her, acquiring this house could be seen as an act of filial piety.<br /> "Yvonne ..."<br /> Thomas wanted to say something, but Yvonne stood up and dialed a number on her phone.<br /> "Hello? Is it Mr. Hart, right? I'm Miss Anworth." Yvonne got straight to the point once the call was answered.<br /> Brandon's fingers paused on the other side of the phone, and his eyebrows lifted slightly as he asked, "What's the matter?"<br /> "I want to cancel the engagement." Yvonne's voice was clear and sharp.<br /> Brandon was taken aback for a moment. After a slight pause, his thin lips curved up as he responded. "Okay!"<br /> Yvonne stared at her phone, which had already been hung up, and was stunned for a moment.<br /> So, he was on board with this?<br /> A high-end club in Queenstown.<br /> Brandon lounged on the sofa with his legs crossed. He held his phone with slender fingers, staring at the call logs that had been cut off, and a faint smile played on his cool lips.<br /> "Is it really Miss Anworth from the Anworths?" Yorky held a glass of wine and expressed a hint of disbelief.<br /> "She said so," Brandon said with a low and enchanting voice, with a slightly cheerful tone.<br /> "Tsk!" Yorky expressed a mild exclamation and remarked, "Well, well! Miss Anworth does have quite a distinctive personality. I'm starting to view her in a different light."<br /> Although Brandon had a bad reputation, his family was financially stable.<br /> Though many girls desired to be his wife, the head of the Harts had already picked Miss Anworth as his future granddaughter-in-law.<br /> He thought the Anworths wouldn't break off the engagement.<br /> So, he investigated and found that the Anworths' business had declined in recent years, facing severe financial difficulties. The engagement with the Harts not only secured a marital alliance but also brought in a substantial investment, a stipulation set by the Harts patriarch.<br /> So, under any circumstances, Madam Anworth would never agree to cancel the engagement.<br /> It was surprising that Miss Anworth personally took the initiative to cancel the engagement.<br /> She truly embodied the reputation of being a highly talented woman in Queenstown, displaying a level of integrity that many other girls could not match.<br /> Brandon was in a good mood. His elongated eyes were almost closed into a thin line as he swiftly played his phone with his fingers.<br /> Yorky leaned in for a glance, expressing astonishment as he said, "Mr. Hart, why did you save the recording of the conversation with Miss Anworth?"<br /> Brandon casually lifted his gaze, continuing to play with his phone. "It's such a good thing. Why wouldn't I let my grandfather know and bring some joy to him?"<br /> "Will your grandfather get a heart attack when he finds out?" Yorky remarked. He couldn't imagine the scene after the old man knew about this.<br /> "He won't suffer from a heart attack. But maybe we would cry, make a fuss, or attempt suicide." These were the usual tactics used by her grandfather.<br /> In order to make him marry Miss Anworth, every possible method was used, causing him considerable distress.<br /> Now that Miss Anworth has chosen to cancel the engagement voluntarily, his grandfather should be able to settle down a bit.<br /> Taking a sip of his drink, Yorky turned to Brandon with a puzzled expression and inquired, "By the way, why don't you want to marry Miss Anworth? Hannah Anworth is not only attractive and academically outstanding but also reputed to have achieved success in various fields. Given her academic performance, she's almost guaranteed to secure a spot at a prestigious university. A wife of such caliber is truly a rare find."<br /> In the chilly atmosphere, Brandon set aside his phone and raised his wine glass, giving it a slight shake. "She's so outstanding, and I'm disabled. I shouldn't stand in her way."<br /> Yorky's shifted his attention to Brandon's faultless, elongated legs and silently looked away.<br /> Newton Residential Area.<br /> As soon as Yvonne stepped into the bedroom, the phone started ringing. After checking the caller ID, she tensed up and walked to the window before answering the call.<br /> "I found the information," a low male voice came through the phone. "On the day your mother passed away, representatives from four influential families in Norbury showed up at your home."<br /> Yvonne's expression turned serious. "Four influential families?"<br /> "That's right!" the person on the other end continued, "The Sullivans, the Sawyers, the Yeagers, and ... the Harts."<br /> Yvonne was surprised. "The Harts? Brandon's family?"<br /> "Yes," the person on the other end paused, "In Norbury, there are four prominent families. The Harts, the Smiths, the Anworths, and the Wagners. The Harts hold the foremost position among these four, being a truly elite aristocratic family. Among the families that have members visiting your home, except for the Harts, the other three are considered to be of moderate size."<br /> The person remained silent for a moment before stating, "The Sullivans, the Sawyers, and the Yeagers. These three families visited your home in search of something. I couldn't find out the specific details, but the person sent by the Harts to your home was Brandon ..."<br /> Yvonne's frigid gaze lifted, and her attractive brows furrowed tightly. "Brandon? What's his purpose?"<br /> "Seems like he's looking for someone."<br /> Yvonne refrained from commenting. She leaned against the bed's edge, and her fair, slender fingers tapped the windowsill slowly. After a considerable pause, she spoke at a measured pace, "Continue the investigation. Find out what the Sullivans, the Sawyers, and the Yeagers are looking for! You don't need to worry about the Harts. I'll handle it myself."<br /> "Understood."<br /> Chapter 5 You Have No Manners at All!<br /> After hanging up the phone, Yvonne opened the window, gazing at the vivid blue sky outside with a composed expression.<br /> "Mom! Who exactly did you offend?"<br /> When Yvonne left the Anworths at the age of nine, the lasting memories etched in her mind portrayed her mother enduring mistreatment from Madam Anworth, and her mother always enduring it silently.<br /> During that period, she couldn't comprehend why her intelligent and efficient mother, despite being capable, endured bullying without putting up a fight.<br /> Once they left the Anworths, they found themselves being pursued by multiple groups. It was only when her mother demonstrated her enigmatic martial prowess and the art of acupoint sealing with silver needles that she realized her mother wasn't incapable of fighting back. Rather, she was actively avoiding the pursuit of others.<br /> Until one day, her mother received a phone call. At that moment, Yvonne noticed an unusual expression on her mother's face. But being young and having already experienced numerous escapes, she assumed that someone else was after them again.<br /> But that night, her mother took her own life!<br /> She met her demise at the hands of the poison she had personally developed!<br /> Prior to her passing, her mother had instructed her to seek out Master Reid at Haven Abbey, become his apprentice, undergo martial arts training, and remain on the mountain for a decade, tempering her skills for ten years.<br /> Her mother specifically ordered that, upon her death, she be cremated without any memorial erected.<br /> A decade later, she returned to the Anworths to find her father and fulfill her engagement with Brandon.<br /> She faithfully carried out all these instructions, with the sole exception of marrying Brandon.<br /> Over the previous ten years, she had lived under the constant weight of her mother's death every day. She had been determined to seek vengeance and wouldn't have allowed a marriage to obstruct her path.<br /> But then ....<br /> Brandon became entangled in the past events.<br /> With the marriage already canceled, any further investigation into the events of that year required a different approach.<br /> Suddenly, Yvonne's thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a tumultuous knocking at the door.<br /> Upon opening the door, she witnessed Madam Anworth storming in accompanied by a group of people from the Anworths.<br /> The group consisted of Madam Anworth's eldest and youngest sons' families, along with Hannah.<br /> The small living room was now crowded with about a dozen people, each displaying visible anger. This resentment intensified, especially upon spotting Yvonne come out, as if they were eager to vent their frustration by tearing her apart.<br /> "Yvonne! You are a troublemaker! Who gave you permission to cancel the engagement with the Harts? What a bitch! Do you still have any respect for me?"<br /> As soon as Madam Anworth saw Yvonne, her elderly and cloudy eyes seemed to express intense anger or frustration.<br /> It was beyond her expectations that Yvonne would independently decide to cancel the engagement.<br /> She wouldn't be aware of it if Master Hart hadn't called.<br /> Fortunately, Master Hart approved of that marriage and didn't raise any objections. He emphasized that despite Brandon's physical disability, half of his future wealth would be allocated to him. If Hannah married Brandon, she wouldn't face any hardships, and she could contribute to supporting the Anworths' business in the future.<br /> Since Yvonne had recently returned, the Anworths had not disclosed her identity publicly. So, Master Hart was unaware that it was Yvonne who intended to marry Brandon, not Hannah.<br /> But Madam Anworth wasn't concerned about these details. In any case, Master Hart had requested the engagement with the granddaughter of the Anworths. So, as long as Yvonne married Brandon, the Anworth would still have received everything they were entitled to.<br /> But this troublemaker Yvonne unexpectedly canceled the engagement!<br /> Yvonne narrowed her eyes, emitting a hint of coldness. She stared at Madam Anworth without saying a word for a long time.<br /> "I'm the reason Yvonne canceled the engagement," Thomas protected Yvonne behind him and said seriously, "If something's bugging you, just address them directly to me."<br /> "Slap!" Madam Anworth slapped him in anger. "How dare you be so ungrateful! Don't you know what this marriage means to the Anworths?"<br /> Initially, she was reluctant to have Hannah marry Brandon. But she didn't formally break off the engagement. Her intention was to find a solution that would secure the Harts' investment while ensuring Hannah's well-being.<br /> But, with the involvement of Yvonne, jeopardizing the relationship with the Harts meant losing any financial benefit.<br /> "What does it mean?" Thomas sarcastically smiled and said, "Isn't it just to maintain your reputation? You look down on Yvonne, so you're willing to sacrifice her?"<br /> "Thomas!" Thomas's eldest brother, Troy Anworth, frowned and said, "How can you speak about Mom that way? She's doing it for the good of the Anworths. Besides, the Harts has assured us that Yvonne will be treated well when she marries into their household."<br /> "He's right, Thomas. Even though Brandon has a physical disability, his family is quite affluent. Look at Yvonne. She grew up in the countryside without receiving much education. She might not have even finished high school at the age of nineteen. She's unable to attend college. Her only option is to work ..."<br /> Ted Anworth, the second eldest brother, said, "Given her qualifications, she can only find jobs like a waitress. In terms of future partners, she can only choose someone ordinary. What's wrong with marrying Brandon? At least, she won't have to worry about her basic needs."<br /> "That's enough!" Thomas exclaimed, "Yvonne is my daughter, and I have the authority to decide whom she marries. No matter how good Brandon is, Yvonne won't be marrying him."<br /> "You!" Troy's face flushed with indignation. "This is utterly illogical!"<br /> Madam Anworth directed her anger towards Thomas, asserting, "You have no authority in this family. Since Yvonne is a granddaughter of the Anworths, she should play her part in supporting the family. We don't tolerate idleness in the Anworths!"<br /> "Hmm!" Yvonne scoffed, her eyes reflecting a touch of scorn.<br /> Madam Anworth abruptly turned her gaze towards her, her eyes sharp as if she had been unexpectedly poisoned. "Why are you laughing?"<br /> Yvonne raised her head, her clear and captivating eyes fixed on Madam Anworth. "I'm laughing at your selective memory! It appears that I haven't received any financial support from you since birth, never been nurtured by you, so where does my contribution come into play?"<br /> Even though she was young at the time, she distinctly recalled that her grandmother never even bought her a piece of candy.<br /> "You!" Madam Anworth was infuriated, her gaze towards Yvonne carrying a trace of bitterness.<br /> This little troublemaker was sharp-tongued!<br /> "Yvonne!" Troy expressed his anger, "How dare you speak to your grandmother like that? She is your elder! Is this how your mother raised you?"<br /> With a nonchalant look, Yvonne's red lips curled slightly, and hands in pockets. She responded, "Sorry, my mom is dead. Why don't you go ask her in the underworld how she taught me?"<br /> Troy's face flushed with anger. "You have no manners at all!"<br /> The rest of the Anworth was infuriated by Yvonne's indifferent demeanor.<br /> But everyone remained silent because Madam Anworth was present.<br /> Despite the unspoken words, the intense glares directed at Yvonne seemed almost predatory. But Yvonne remained unfazed, lifting her chin indifferently.<br /> Madam Anworth observed Yvonne for a prolonged moment. She took deep breaths to quell her anger and softened her tone as she remarked, "Your mother arranged this marriage. She wouldn't harm you. Master Hart expressed his hope that you would still honor the engagement with Brandon."<br /> Yvonne looked at her with a faint smile but did not respond.<br /> Madam Anworth's expression tightened as she spoke sternly, "Yvonne! Let me remind you! The place you currently occupy is my provision. If you refuse to marry Brandon, I will reclaim this house. Besides, your father will be ousted from the company under my authority. As long as I am present, he will be unable to secure employment in Queenstown. Without financial means, he won't be able to sustain your family!"<br /> Before Yvonne could say anything, Thomas stepped forward and earnestly declared, "If you want to take the house, go ahead. I am capable of taking care of my wife and child with my own hands and feet. I refuse to let Yvonne be pushed into a difficult situation!"<br /> Madam Anworth was so angry that she wanted to slap him, but she held it back. She gritted her teeth and looked at Thomas. "Fine! You have courage. I'm curious to see how resilient you can be!"<br /> In a cold tone, Madam Anworth added, "You have one hour to move out. Do it immediately!"

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, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" 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's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "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's back, I won'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." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<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's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna'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's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' 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'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'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!" 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 /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She'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't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<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 /> "AH!" 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's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<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, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<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 /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<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 /> "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!"<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 /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can'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'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!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun'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'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 /> "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!"<br /> Shaun'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'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 /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." 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 /> "Dad, aren'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!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<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'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't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond'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 /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" 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 /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<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's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun'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's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That'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're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<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's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" 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. "Thanks, but I drove here."<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's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" 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 /> "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."<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 /> "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." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<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'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'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, "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's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." 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 /> "Don'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..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond'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 /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "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's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'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's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<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 /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" 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'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 /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" 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 /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding.
