She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed. <br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, &quot;sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.&quot;<br /> &quot;Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?&quot; asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> &quot;Roxy&#039;s back, and she doesn&#039;t want to see you! It&#039;s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!&quot; Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna&#039;s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, &quot;You&#039;re divorcing me because she&#039;s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?&quot;<br /> &quot;You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she&#039;s back, I won&#039;t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.&quot; Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> &quot;I... What will happen if I don&#039;t sign them?&quot; Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.&quot;<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna&#039;s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna&#039;s step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group&#039;s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes&#039; mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She&#039;d had enough anyway!<br /> &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll sign them, but I have a request.&quot;<br /> &quot;Spit it out then!&quot; Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> &quot;I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you&#039;ve been with me, you&#039;ve called out Roxanne&#039;s name. Yeah, you&#039;ve made me feel like I&#039;m the worst woman in the world, and I&#039;ve had enough! I&#039;m your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wifeâ€đŸ€©đŸ€© LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulp 101928486111131 YummyStory https://facebook.com/100088816688674 196 1 333,855,909,576,134 2024-01-08 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 1 Learn more 0 YummyStory 120205184369770506 www.yumread.com NONE video https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulppwrw5wskr1i?ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 2024-01-07 02:23 https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/417117819_1562785687800286_7104895259106033492_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=CczYAtFDiaIAX9Qp4zl&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&oh=00_AfAnk9kxuXHIq0ydq7qY6GXDHDcXcMYwB8kV_QfPoLbntQ&oe=65A734CE person_profile 0 YummyStory https://scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/415552647_747878406765320_359780878200798906_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=g7GpY5mgnKwAX9FwF9f&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.xx&oh=00_AfCIWA8nD9hHMSo7eVAfG35OaGsxZ0Y_KRLgY79CoUfscA&oe=65A71FC2 0 3 YummyStory 0 0 2024-01-07 02:00 View Edit

Elle n&#039;a emportĂ© avec elle que ses papiers d&#039;identitĂ©, pas mĂȘme la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre annĂ©es, il n&#039;y avait eu aucune nouvelle d&#039;elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaĂźtre complĂštement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu&#039;Ă  quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> MĂȘme s&#039;ils Ă©taient divorcĂ©s, Bruce se sentait toujours trompĂ© et mĂȘme trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il Ă©tait minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenĂȘtre.<br /> <br /> À l&#039;intĂ©rieur d&#039;une maison, un homme dit froidement: &quot;Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?&quot; demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours Ă©tĂ© une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> &quot;Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!&quot; dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s&#039;adossant au canapĂ©. Il Ă©tait aussi beau qu&#039;une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard Ă©tait toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lĂšvres pĂąles de Johanne frĂ©missent comme si elle Ă©tait tombĂ©e dans l&#039;eau glacĂ©e. Elle demanda avec surprise: &quot;Tu divorces parce qu&#039;elle est de retour? Notre mariage n&#039;est-il qu&#039;une plaisanterie pour toi?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Tu n&#039;Ă©tais pas celle que je voulais Ă©pouser au dĂ©part, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu&#039;elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la mĂȘme erreur. DĂ©pĂȘche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathĂ©tique. Tu devrais considĂ©rer que c&#039;est une bonne affaire&quot;. Bruce avait toujours Ă©tĂ© douĂ© pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> &quot;Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?&quot; demanda amĂšrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> &quot;Fais comme tu veux. J&#039;ai des moyens de te faire disparaĂźtre. LĂ©galement ou non, personne ne le remarquera.&quot;<br /> <br /> En tant qu&#039;hĂ©ritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours Ă©tĂ© capable de faire ce qu&#039;il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tĂȘte de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a dĂ©cidĂ© de se lier Ă  celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sƓur de Johanne, l&#039;homme a Ă©tĂ© droguĂ©. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couchĂ© ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aĂźnĂ©e du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frĂšre fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L&#039;Ă©tat mental de Roxane Fontaine s&#039;est dĂ©gradĂ© et elle a Ă©tĂ© envoyĂ©e dans une maison de repos Ă  l&#039;Ă©tranger pour y ĂȘtre soignĂ©e.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de mĂ©nage la plus Ă©hontĂ©e, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couchĂ© avec son beau-frĂšre!<br /> <br /> Bruce la dĂ©testait encore plus et a dĂ©cidĂ© que c&#039;Ă©tait Johanne qui l&#039;avait droguĂ© et avait grimpĂ© sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitiĂ© depuis des gĂ©nĂ©rations. Ce mariage devait d&#039;ailleurs permettre d&#039;approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aĂźnĂ©s des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insistĂ© pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux derniĂšres annĂ©es de mariage avaient Ă©tĂ© un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolĂ©rance et son affection n&#039;ont pas amĂ©liorĂ© la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit Ă  davantage d&#039;humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est Ă©puisĂ©e, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> &quot;Bien, je les signerai, mais j&#039;ai une demande Ă  faire.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Crache le morceau alors!&quot; Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait Ă  plus d&#039;argent!<br /> <br /> AprĂšs tout, c&#039;est ce qui l&#039;intĂ©ressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> &quot;Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux derniĂšres annĂ©es, chaque fois que tu as Ă©tĂ© avec moi, tu as prononcĂ© le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m&#039;as fait sentir que j&#039;Ă©tais la pire femme du monde, et j&#039;en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l&#039;amour avec moi pour la derniĂšre fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!&quot; Pour la premiĂšre fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystĂ©riques et tremblait de colĂšre!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux derniĂšres annĂ©es, Bruce a dĂ©libĂ©rĂ©ment prononcĂ© le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l&#039;humilier. Il n&#039;y avait aucun amour lĂ -dedans!<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, arrĂȘte tes bĂȘtises. Quelqu&#039;un m&#039;attend en bas...&quot;<br /> <br /> Johanne s&#039;Ă©broua d&#039;un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c&#039;Ă©tait probablement Roxane qui l&#039;attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> &quot;Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu&#039;elle attend, et je pense qu&#039;elle peut ĂȘtre tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j&#039;ai dit ou pas. C&#039;est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dĂ©range pas que les mĂ©dias Ă©crivent Ă  nouveau des histoires sur moi!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce dĂ©testait le plus ĂȘtre menacĂ©. Ses lĂšvres fines se retroussĂšrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il rĂ©pondit: &quot;Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d&#039;un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©chirĂ©s...<br /> <br /> L&#039;homme ne lui a mĂȘme pas donnĂ© d&#039;avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> &quot;Ah!&quot; s&#039;Ă©cria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce Ă©tait aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s&#039;est jamais souciĂ© de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-ĂȘtre que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! TrĂšs bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s&#039;en souviendrait, se remĂ©morant la cruautĂ© de cet homme Ă  son Ă©gard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?&quot;<br /> <br /> Il finit par l&#039;appeler par son nom alors qu&#039;il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fĂ»t toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se dĂ©barrtootshieer de la dĂ©pression qui l&#039;avait hantĂ©e pendant deux annĂ©es entiĂšres.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu&#039;elle disait d&#039;un ton navrĂ©: &quot;Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t&#039;aimerai plus!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu&#039;elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l&#039;ignorer. Il attrapa sa mĂąchoire avec mĂ©pris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle Ă©tait belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit Ă©tait rempli de saletĂ©s et de stratagĂšmes.<br /> <br /> C&#039;Ă©tait pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> &quot;Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l&#039;argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!&quot;<br /> <br /> AprĂšs avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongĂ©e sur le sol, en mauvais Ă©tat.<br /> <br /> Deux mois aprĂšs...<br /> <br /> Dans un hĂŽpital.<br /> <br /> &quot;FĂ©licitations, Mme Fontaine, vous ĂȘtes enceinte de plus d&#039;un enfant. Mais je vous suggĂšre d&#039;abandonner un ou deux des fƓtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!&quot;<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n&#039;enlĂšverait le droit de vivre Ă  aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C&#039;Ă©tait ses bĂ©bĂ©s et seulement les siens! D&#039;une maniĂšre ou d&#039;une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les Ă©lever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l&#039;unitĂ© de soins intensifs d&#039;un hĂŽpital.<br /> <br /> &quot;Je suis dĂ©solĂ©, nous avons tout essayĂ©, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!&quot;<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: &quot;Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d&#039;autre? Si mon pĂšre ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront lĂ©guĂ©s au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d&#039;entre nous n&#039;a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon pĂšre aussi. Nous ne savons pas Ă  quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l&#039;accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misĂ©rable fille qui est la mienne!&quot;<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine Ă©tait misĂ©rable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le pĂšre de Shaun, a rĂ©digĂ© un Ă©trange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissĂ© 51% du Groupe Fontaine Ă  sa petite-fille aĂźnĂ©e, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n&#039;hĂ©riteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplĂ©mentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriĂ©tĂ©s de la famille Fontaine iront directement Ă  l&#039;État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ©ment Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c&#039;Ă©tait comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n&#039;a jamais entendu parler d&#039;elle et ne l&#039;a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu&#039;elle et Bruce ont divorcĂ©.<br /> <br /> &quot;De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprĂšs de s&#039;opposer Ă  nous! Personne ne sait oĂč elle est allĂ©e pendant toutes ces annĂ©es!&quot;<br /> <br /> La seconde Ă©pouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l&#039;Ă©poque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsĂ© la mĂšre de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donnĂ© naissance Ă  son troisiĂšme fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille Ă©tait absolument tootshieurĂ©e.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s&#039;Ă©tait jamais attendue Ă  ce qu&#039;elle n&#039;aurait rien Ă  la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme prĂ©fĂ©rait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> &quot;Papa, maman, grand-pĂšre est rĂ©veillĂ©!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne... ma Johanne...&quot; Raymond Ă©tait dans le coma depuis plus d&#039;une douzaine de jours. Ses heures Ă©taient comptĂ©es.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule prĂ©occupation Ă©tait pour sa petite-fille aĂźnĂ©e, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiĂ©tait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait mĂȘme Ingride d&#039;avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieinĂ© sa petite-fille bien-aimĂ©e.<br /> <br /> &quot;Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n&#039;est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n&#039;auras pas un sou avant ça...&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride a criĂ© Ă  voix btootshiee: &quot;Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait oĂč elle est allĂ©e? En plus, si elle tient vraiment Ă  toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la derniĂšre fois?&quot;<br /> <br /> Une pointe d&#039;impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s&#039;empĂȘcher de demander: &quot;Bruce, sais-tu oĂč est ptootshieĂ©e ma sƓur?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce s&#039;est figĂ© parce qu&#039;il ne connaissait pas la rĂ©ponse Ă  cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, aprĂšs leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer Ă  le harceler ou au moins faire une scĂšne!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a dĂ©mĂ©nagĂ©. Elle n&#039;a emportĂ© avec elle que ses papiers d&#039;identitĂ©, pas mĂȘme la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre annĂ©es, il n&#039;y avait eu aucune nouvelle d&#039;elle. Bien sĂ»r, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l&#039;a jamais contactĂ©e non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu&#039;elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait prĂ©parĂ© tant de plans pour se dĂ©barrtootshieer d&#039;elle lorsqu&#039;elle se prĂ©senterait. Pourtant, il s&#039;est avĂ©rĂ© qu&#039;il n&#039;avait besoin d&#039;aucun d&#039;entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complĂštement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne... Johanne!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, vas-y, grand-pĂšre est en train de mourir! Va chercher les mĂ©decins...&quot;<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiquĂ© Ă  tout le monde que le cƓur de Raymond s&#039;arrĂȘtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblĂ©s autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient ĂȘtre lĂ©guĂ©s!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l&#039;hĂŽpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a Ă©tĂ© poussĂ©e.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrĂ©e portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une HermĂšs en Ă©dition limitĂ©e, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnĂ©es couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont dĂ©jĂ  tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures Ă  talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrĂ©e avec le genre d&#039;ambiance de beautĂ© glacĂ©e, semblant faire baisser la tempĂ©rature dans la salle!<br /> <br /> &quot;Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l&#039;a autorisĂ©e Ă  ĂȘtre ici?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;C&#039;est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-pĂšre!&quot; Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne!&quot; Les autres haletĂšrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changĂ©!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu&#039;elle avait l&#039;habitude de garder lisses Ă©taient devenus bruns bouclĂ©s. Il avait l&#039;habitude d&#039;atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son Ă©paule. Elle avait complĂštement changĂ© de la gentille fille d&#039;Ă  cĂŽtĂ© Ă  une femme de carriĂšre mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c&#039;est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu&#039;auparavant. Elle mesurait un mĂštre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser Ă  peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l&#039;innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s&#039;Ă©tait Ă©galement vidĂ©e. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu&#039;elle avait dĂ» vivre beaucoup de choses ces derniĂšres annĂ©es!<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinĂ©e si tu ne te montres pas...&quot;<br /> <br /> Pour la premiĂšre fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine Ă©taient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> &quot;Je suis dĂ©solĂ©e, grand-pĂšre. Je suis dĂ©solĂ©e d&#039;ĂȘtre en retard!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne,&quot; Raymond cria et ouvrit Ă  peine les yeux,&quot; je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin ĂȘtre soulagĂ©...&quot;<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tĂȘte pencha et ses yeux se fermĂšrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L&#039;ECG bipait, dĂ©clarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> &quot;Grand-pĂšre? Grand-pĂšre!&quot; cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-pĂšre Ă©tait le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d&#039;elle!<br /> <br /> &quot;Ah, allez, arrĂȘte ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais Ă©tĂ© lĂ  depuis longtemps si tu t&#039;Ă©tais souciĂ© de ton grand-pĂšre! Maintenant qu&#039;il est temps de parler d&#039;hĂ©ritage, tu es venu?&quot; dit Derick, le fils aĂźnĂ© de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton Ă©tait Ă©vident.<br /> <br /> Il n&#039;avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sƓur aĂźnĂ©e, et maintenant qu&#039;elle Ă©tait la plus grande bĂ©nĂ©ficiaire de l&#039;hĂ©ritage de Raymond, Derick la dĂ©testait encore plus!<br /> <br /> &quot;Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu&#039;un et organise d&#039;abord les funĂ©railles&quot;, dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligĂ©, il tapote l&#039;Ă©paule de Johanne.&quot; Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens Ă  la maison!&quot;<br /> <br /> Les lĂšvres d&#039;Ingride se retroussĂšrent avec dĂ©dain, mais elle disait joyeusement: &quot;C&#039;est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-pĂšre a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hĂ©rites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dĂ» lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante Ă  une fille qui n&#039;y connaĂźt rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naĂŻve. Laisse ton pĂšre continuer Ă  diriger l&#039;entreprise!&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne Ă©tait censĂ©e suivre ses instructions. Au fond d&#039;elle-mĂȘme, elle Ă©tait convaincue que cette derniĂšre Ă©tait aussi stupide que sa salope de mĂšre!<br /> <br /> Au moment oĂč Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrĂŽle total d&#039;Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restĂ©e sans expression. Elle dit froidement: &quot;Je ne veux pas penser Ă  cela maintenant. Je veux juste m&#039;occuper de grand-pĂšre d&#039;abord!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L&#039;enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut ĂȘtre remis Ă  plus tard!&quot;<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C&#039;Ă©tait en fin d&#039;aprĂšs-midi aprĂšs que la maison mortuaire ait rĂ©cupĂ©rĂ© le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l&#039;hĂŽpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> &quot;OĂč habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramĂšnera!&quot; dit Bruce. Sa voix Ă©tait un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressĂ© la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clĂ©s de la voiture dans sa main. &quot;Merci, mais c&#039;est moi qui ai conduit jusqu&#039;ici!&quot;<br /> <br /> Le regard indiffĂ©rent sur son visage donnait l&#039;impression qu&#039;elle Ă©tait simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce Ă©tait en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s&#039;est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: &quot;Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;C&#039;est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hĂŽtel. Au revoir!&quot; Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s&#039;est dirigĂ©e vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> BientĂŽt, une Bentley argentĂ©e est sortie du parking et a dĂ©marrĂ© en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> &quot;Il semble que ma sƓur ait bien vĂ©cu ces derniĂšres annĂ©es! Elle pouvait profiter d&#039;une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce n&#039;a pas rĂ©pondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre annĂ©es d&#039;absence de Johanne, Bruce n&#039;a pas Ă©pousĂ© Roxane. De plus, pendant cette pĂ©riode, il s&#039;est rendu compte que cette derniĂšre n&#039;Ă©tait tout simplement pas celle qu&#039;il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n&#039;a pas rompu avec Roxane Ă©tait Ă  cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine Ă©tait riche, mais ce n&#039;Ă©tait rien comparĂ© Ă  la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aĂźnĂ©s des deux familles Ă©taient des amis proches! C&#039;est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c&#039;est Roxane qui l&#039;a sauvĂ©! Depuis lors, il a jurĂ© qu&#039;il aimerait et protĂ©gerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu&#039;elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douĂ©e avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vĂȘtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dĂ» se mettre en mĂ©nage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement Ă  elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!&quot; Ingride semblait faire l&#039;Ă©loge de Johanne, mais il n&#039;Ă©tait pas difficile de comprendre ce qu&#039;elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> &quot;Maman, de quoi parles-tu?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se dĂ©brouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiĂštent jamais, oĂč qu&#039;elles aillent. Il n&#039;y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu&#039;elle!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce Ă©tait en quelque sorte un peu contrariĂ©.&quot; Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J&#039;ai une rĂ©union importante ce soir.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oui, bien sĂ»r. Conduis prudemment, d&#039;accord?&quot; dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d&#039;offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n&#039;a rien dit de plus, s&#039;est retournĂ© et est montĂ© dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> AprĂšs avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colĂšre. Elle se plaint: &quot;Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n&#039;aurais jamais dĂ» mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n&#039;a plus jamais parlĂ© de m&#039;Ă©pouser! Et maintenant qu&#039;elle est de retour, qu&#039;est-ce qu&#039;on va faire?&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait Ă©tait ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D&#039;abord, elle a droguĂ© Johanne. Puis elle a envoyĂ© la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier Ă©tait trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> AprĂšs cela, Ingride a informĂ© un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggĂ©rant d&#039;Ă©crire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s&#039;est jetĂ©e dans les bras de son beau-frĂšre. Elle s&#039;attendait Ă  ce que cette fille soit privĂ©e de son droit d&#039;hĂ©ritage aprĂšs avoir dĂ©shonorĂ© la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couchĂ© avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont Ă©chappĂ©. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par Ă©pouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant Ă  cela, Ingride dit: &quot;Je l&#039;ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça Ă  cause de ton grand-pĂšre! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisĂ© cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut dĂ©fendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Mais maman...&quot; Roxane Ă©tait toujours inquiĂšte.<br /> <br /> MĂȘme si Bruce avait Ă©tĂ© bon avec elle pendant des annĂ©es, elle pouvait voir la frigiditĂ© dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L&#039;homme a rarement souri depuis qu&#039;il a divorcĂ© de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il Ă©tait devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois Ă  Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> &quot;Ne t&#039;inquiĂšte pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa dĂ©funte mĂšre! Nous sommes en train de nous Ă©loigner d&#039;elle. Pas avant qu&#039;elle ne renonce d&#039;abord Ă  sa part d&#039;hĂ©ritage...&quot;<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c&#039;Ă©tait l&#039;enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine Ă©taient arrivĂ©s au cimetiĂšre sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont Ă©galement prĂ©sentĂ©es pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetiĂšre.<br /> <br /> AprĂšs tout, Raymond Fontaine Ă©tait un gros bonnet Ă  Greyport. Alors, bien sĂ»r, ses funĂ©railles Ă©taient bien ciblĂ©es.<br /> <br /> &quot;J&#039;ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aĂźnĂ©e de la famille Fontaine hĂ©rite du Groupe Fontaine.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a sĂ©duit son beau-frĂšre il y a six ans et a forcĂ© sa sƓur Ă  partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s&#039;est mariĂ©e dans la famille Chevalier Ă  la place de sa sƓur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C&#039;est impressionnant!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Ha! Et alors? C&#039;est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a Ă©tĂ© mise Ă  la porte par la famille Chevalier, n&#039;est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dĂ©goĂ»tante!&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride Ă©tait folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S&#039;efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: &quot;Puis-je avoir votre attention s&#039;il vous plaĂźt? Tout d&#039;abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d&#039;ĂȘtre venus aux funĂ©railles de Raymond, et...&quot;<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: &quot;Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relĂšve du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de rĂ©pondre: &quot;Je ne vais pas ĂȘtre dĂ©rangĂ© par d&#039;autres choses en ce jour extrĂȘmement pĂ©nible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d&#039;un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d&#039;une rĂ©union du conseil d&#039;administration pour choisir le bon directeur exĂ©cutif!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n&#039;est-elle pas lĂ  un jour si important?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Ha, c&#039;est la question que vous devriez lui poser...&quot;<br /> <br /> Pendant qu&#039;elle parlait, Ă  l&#039;extĂ©rieur du cimetiĂšre vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pĂ©nĂ©trait dans le cimetiĂšre, suivie d&#039;une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> &quot;Regardez cette plaque d&#039;immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!&quot; Les journalistes sont tout excitĂ©s et se prĂ©cipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait Ă  Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus Ă  Greyport. L&#039;un d&#039;eux Ă©tait Bruce Chevalier, et l&#039;autre Ă©tait Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> DeuxiĂšme fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait Ă©galement une sociĂ©tĂ© de divertissement appelĂ©e Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz Ă©taient des artistes sous le contrĂŽle de sa sociĂ©tĂ©.<br /> <br /> Contrairement Ă  Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours Ă©tĂ© un homme de publicitĂ©.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s&#039;ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> &quot;Wow, c&#039;est vraiment M. Grimm!&quot; La presse s&#039;avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> AprĂšs que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s&#039;est tournĂ© de l&#039;autre cĂŽtĂ© et a aidĂ© une femme vĂȘtue de noir Ă  sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> &quot;Est-ce...? Wow, c&#039;est Johanne Fontaine!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;C&#039;est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?&quot;<br /> <br /> Comme ils Ă©taient tous Ă©tonnĂ©s, un Ă  un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vĂȘtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l&#039;effet d&#039;une bombe, suscitant l&#039;intĂ©rĂȘt de tous!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, &quot;sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.&quot;<br /> &quot;Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?&quot; asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> &quot;Roxy&#039;s back, and she doesn&#039;t want to see you! It&#039;s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!&quot; Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna&#039;s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, &quot;You&#039;re divorcing me because she&#039;s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?&quot;<br /> &quot;You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she&#039;s back, I won&#039;t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.&quot; Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> &quot;I... What will happen if I don&#039;t sign them?&quot; Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.&quot;<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna&#039;s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna&#039;s step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group&#039;s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes&#039; mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She&#039;d had enough anyway!<br /> &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll sign them, but I have a request.&quot;<br /> &quot;Spit it out then!&quot; Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> &quot;I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you&#039;ve been with me, you&#039;ve called out Roxanne&#039;s name. Yeah, you&#039;ve made me feel like I&#039;m the worst woman in the world, and I&#039;ve had enough! I&#039;m your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wifeâ€đŸ€©đŸ€© LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulp 101928486111131 YummyStory https://facebook.com/100088816688674 196 1 6,674,934,195,945,763 2024-01-06 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 1 Learn more 0 YummyStory 120203661388800156 www.yumread.com NONE video https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulppwrw5wskr1i?ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 2024-01-06 02:50 https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/416206465_1546934636127350_3998194881191066948_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=OaGaw9YDYL4AX8wlG0q&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AfCDemoaiZJMYIY5IaVoeAHlfzI29xITd17Cz9xnwvcJEA&oe=65A67EBE person_profile 0 YummyStory https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/416201244_339243432373366_6131301604516694866_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=KWBZpBjz8ScAX_dOWaK&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=00_AfC9nIbqPpphoKzarOKOnVhfEb1oQi3H-3dsMMkqToreAQ&oe=65A68D52 0 3 YummyStory 0 0 2024-01-06 02:00 View Edit

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, &quot;sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.&quot;<br /> &quot;Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?&quot; asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> &quot;Roxy&#039;s back, and she doesn&#039;t want to see you! It&#039;s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!&quot; Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna&#039;s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, &quot;You&#039;re divorcing me because she&#039;s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?&quot;<br /> &quot;You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she&#039;s back, I won&#039;t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.&quot; Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> &quot;I... What will happen if I don&#039;t sign them?&quot; Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.&quot;<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna&#039;s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna&#039;s step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group&#039;s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes&#039; mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She&#039;d had enough anyway!<br /> &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll sign them, but I have a request.&quot;<br /> &quot;Spit it out then!&quot; Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> &quot;I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you&#039;ve been with me, you&#039;ve called out Roxanne&#039;s name. Yeah, you&#039;ve made me feel like I&#039;m the worst woman in the world, and I&#039;ve had enough! I&#039;m your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wifeâ€đŸ€©đŸ€© LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulp 101928486111131 YummyStory https://facebook.com/100088816688674 196 1 915,263,146,661,091 2024-01-06 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 1 Learn more 0 YummyStory 120203661362200156 www.yumread.com NONE video https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulppwrw5wskr1i?ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 2024-01-06 02:48 https://scontent.fftk1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/413040979_1153544732277551_5287070280041614918_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=eMQEFG-dYwcAX-0vdWI&_nc_ht=scontent.fftk1-1.fna&oh=00_AfAQEdmdv4tJrBg2LQc3Qfv-z7ZtftXa51Tmh7G6iKq-4A&oe=65A61284 person_profile 0 YummyStory https://scontent.fftk1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/413048598_309350948176666_563161389137470887_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=rFGayTXy83IAX-Sn_lk&_nc_ht=scontent.fftk1-1.fna&oh=00_AfBJG8blCEfKboE45ICH_TRGUwZ6HdH4evLyv1fqkJwhKQ&oe=65A66EB2 0 3 YummyStory 0 0 2024-01-06 02:00 View Edit

Elle n&#039;a emportĂ© avec elle que ses papiers d&#039;identitĂ©, pas mĂȘme la carte bancaire qui contenait 100 millions de dollars.<br /> Et pendant ces quatre annĂ©es, il n&#039;y avait eu aucune nouvelle d&#039;elle. Cela faisait quatre ans.<br /> Elle vient de disparaĂźtre complĂštement de son monde.<br /> Jusqu&#039;Ă  quatre ans plus tard, Joanna est revenue avec ses fils et un autre homme.<br /> MĂȘme s&#039;ils Ă©taient divorcĂ©s, Bruce se sentait toujours trompĂ© et mĂȘme trahi<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> Il Ă©tait minuit et les gouttes de pluie martelaient la fenĂȘtre.<br /> <br /> À l&#039;intĂ©rieur d&#039;une maison, un homme dit froidement: &quot;Signe les papiers du divorce! En compensation, je te donnerai 100 millions de dollars de pension alimentaire.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Ai-je encore fait quelque chose de mal, Bruce?&quot; demanda timidement Johanne Fontaine. Elle avait toujours Ă©tĂ© une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> &quot;Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!&quot; dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s&#039;adossant au canapĂ©. Il Ă©tait aussi beau qu&#039;une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard Ă©tait toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lĂšvres pĂąles de Johanne frĂ©missent comme si elle Ă©tait tombĂ©e dans l&#039;eau glacĂ©e. Elle demanda avec surprise: &quot;Tu divorces parce qu&#039;elle est de retour? Notre mariage n&#039;est-il qu&#039;une plaisanterie pour toi?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Tu n&#039;Ă©tais pas celle que je voulais Ă©pouser au dĂ©part, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu&#039;elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la mĂȘme erreur. DĂ©pĂȘche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathĂ©tique. Tu devrais considĂ©rer que c&#039;est une bonne affaire&quot;. Bruce avait toujours Ă©tĂ© douĂ© pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> &quot;Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?&quot; demanda amĂšrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> &quot;Fais comme tu veux. J&#039;ai des moyens de te faire disparaĂźtre. LĂ©galement ou non, personne ne le remarquera.&quot;<br /> <br /> En tant qu&#039;hĂ©ritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours Ă©tĂ© capable de faire ce qu&#039;il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tĂȘte de toute façon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a dĂ©cidĂ© de se lier Ă  celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fiançailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sƓur de Johanne, l&#039;homme a Ă©tĂ© droguĂ©. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couchĂ© ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aĂźnĂ©e du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frĂšre fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L&#039;Ă©tat mental de Roxane Fontaine s&#039;est dĂ©gradĂ© et elle a Ă©tĂ© envoyĂ©e dans une maison de repos Ă  l&#039;Ă©tranger pour y ĂȘtre soignĂ©e.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de mĂ©nage la plus Ă©hontĂ©e, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couchĂ© avec son beau-frĂšre!<br /> <br /> Bruce la dĂ©testait encore plus et a dĂ©cidĂ© que c&#039;Ă©tait Johanne qui l&#039;avait droguĂ© et avait grimpĂ© sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitiĂ© depuis des gĂ©nĂ©rations. Ce mariage devait d&#039;ailleurs permettre d&#039;approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aĂźnĂ©s des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insistĂ© pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux derniĂšres annĂ©es de mariage avaient Ă©tĂ© un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolĂ©rance et son affection n&#039;ont pas amĂ©liorĂ© la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit Ă  davantage d&#039;humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est Ă©puisĂ©e, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute façon!<br /> <br /> &quot;Bien, je les signerai, mais j&#039;ai une demande Ă  faire.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Crache le morceau alors!&quot; Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait Ă  plus d&#039;argent!<br /> <br /> AprĂšs tout, c&#039;est ce qui l&#039;intĂ©ressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> &quot;Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux derniĂšres annĂ©es, chaque fois que tu as Ă©tĂ© avec moi, tu as prononcĂ© le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m&#039;as fait sentir que j&#039;Ă©tais la pire femme du monde, et j&#039;en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l&#039;amour avec moi pour la derniĂšre fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!&quot; Pour la premiĂšre fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystĂ©riques et tremblait de colĂšre!<br /> <br /> À chaque fois au cours des deux derniĂšres annĂ©es, Bruce a dĂ©libĂ©rĂ©ment prononcĂ© le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l&#039;humilier. Il n&#039;y avait aucun amour lĂ -dedans!<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, arrĂȘte tes bĂȘtises. Quelqu&#039;un m&#039;attend en bas...&quot;<br /> <br /> Johanne s&#039;Ă©broua d&#039;un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c&#039;Ă©tait probablement Roxane qui l&#039;attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> &quot;Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu&#039;elle attend, et je pense qu&#039;elle peut ĂȘtre tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j&#039;ai dit ou pas. C&#039;est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dĂ©range pas que les mĂ©dias Ă©crivent Ă  nouveau des histoires sur moi!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce dĂ©testait le plus ĂȘtre menacĂ©. Ses lĂšvres fines se retroussĂšrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il rĂ©pondit: &quot;Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d&#039;un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©chirĂ©s...<br /> <br /> L&#039;homme ne lui a mĂȘme pas donnĂ© d&#039;avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> &quot;Ah!&quot; s&#039;Ă©cria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce Ă©tait aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s&#039;est jamais souciĂ© de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-ĂȘtre que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! TrĂšs bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s&#039;en souviendrait, se remĂ©morant la cruautĂ© de cet homme Ă  son Ă©gard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?&quot;<br /> <br /> Il finit par l&#039;appeler par son nom alors qu&#039;il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fĂ»t toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se dĂ©barrtootshieer de la dĂ©pression qui l&#039;avait hantĂ©e pendant deux annĂ©es entiĂšres.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu&#039;elle disait d&#039;un ton navrĂ©: &quot;Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t&#039;aimerai plus!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu&#039;elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l&#039;ignorer. Il attrapa sa mĂąchoire avec mĂ©pris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle Ă©tait belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit Ă©tait rempli de saletĂ©s et de stratagĂšmes.<br /> <br /> C&#039;Ă©tait pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> &quot;Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l&#039;argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!&quot;<br /> <br /> AprĂšs avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongĂ©e sur le sol, en mauvais Ă©tat.<br /> <br /> Deux mois aprĂšs...<br /> <br /> Dans un hĂŽpital.<br /> <br /> &quot;FĂ©licitations, Mme Fontaine, vous ĂȘtes enceinte de plus d&#039;un enfant. Mais je vous suggĂšre d&#039;abandonner un ou deux des fƓtus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!&quot;<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n&#039;enlĂšverait le droit de vivre Ă  aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C&#039;Ă©tait ses bĂ©bĂ©s et seulement les siens! D&#039;une maniĂšre ou d&#039;une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les Ă©lever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l&#039;unitĂ© de soins intensifs d&#039;un hĂŽpital.<br /> <br /> &quot;Je suis dĂ©solĂ©, nous avons tout essayĂ©, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!&quot;<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: &quot;Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d&#039;autre? Si mon pĂšre ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront lĂ©guĂ©s au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d&#039;entre nous n&#039;a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon pĂšre aussi. Nous ne savons pas Ă  quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l&#039;accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misĂ©rable fille qui est la mienne!&quot;<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine Ă©tait misĂ©rable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le pĂšre de Shaun, a rĂ©digĂ© un Ă©trange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissĂ© 51% du Groupe Fontaine Ă  sa petite-fille aĂźnĂ©e, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n&#039;hĂ©riteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplĂ©mentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriĂ©tĂ©s de la famille Fontaine iront directement Ă  l&#039;État.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ©ment Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c&#039;Ă©tait comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n&#039;a jamais entendu parler d&#039;elle et ne l&#039;a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu&#039;elle et Bruce ont divorcĂ©.<br /> <br /> &quot;De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprĂšs de s&#039;opposer Ă  nous! Personne ne sait oĂč elle est allĂ©e pendant toutes ces annĂ©es!&quot;<br /> <br /> La seconde Ă©pouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> À l&#039;Ă©poque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsĂ© la mĂšre de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donnĂ© naissance Ă  son troisiĂšme fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille Ă©tait absolument tootshieurĂ©e.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s&#039;Ă©tait jamais attendue Ă  ce qu&#039;elle n&#039;aurait rien Ă  la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme prĂ©fĂ©rait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> &quot;Papa, maman, grand-pĂšre est rĂ©veillĂ©!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne... ma Johanne...&quot; Raymond Ă©tait dans le coma depuis plus d&#039;une douzaine de jours. Ses heures Ă©taient comptĂ©es.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule prĂ©occupation Ă©tait pour sa petite-fille aĂźnĂ©e, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiĂ©tait tellement Raymond. Il soupçonnait mĂȘme Ingride d&#039;avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieinĂ© sa petite-fille bien-aimĂ©e.<br /> <br /> &quot;Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n&#039;est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n&#039;auras pas un sou avant ça...&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride a criĂ© Ă  voix btootshiee: &quot;Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait oĂč elle est allĂ©e? En plus, si elle tient vraiment Ă  toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la derniĂšre fois?&quot;<br /> <br /> Une pointe d&#039;impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s&#039;empĂȘcher de demander: &quot;Bruce, sais-tu oĂč est ptootshieĂ©e ma sƓur?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce s&#039;est figĂ© parce qu&#039;il ne connaissait pas la rĂ©ponse Ă  cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, aprĂšs leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer Ă  le harceler ou au moins faire une scĂšne!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a dĂ©mĂ©nagĂ©. Elle n&#039;a emportĂ© avec elle que ses papiers d&#039;identitĂ©, pas mĂȘme la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre annĂ©es, il n&#039;y avait eu aucune nouvelle d&#039;elle. Bien sĂ»r, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l&#039;a jamais contactĂ©e non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu&#039;elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait prĂ©parĂ© tant de plans pour se dĂ©barrtootshieer d&#039;elle lorsqu&#039;elle se prĂ©senterait. Pourtant, il s&#039;est avĂ©rĂ© qu&#039;il n&#039;avait besoin d&#039;aucun d&#039;entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complĂštement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne... Johanne!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, vas-y, grand-pĂšre est en train de mourir! Va chercher les mĂ©decins...&quot;<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiquĂ© Ă  tout le monde que le cƓur de Raymond s&#039;arrĂȘtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblĂ©s autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient ĂȘtre lĂ©guĂ©s!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l&#039;hĂŽpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a Ă©tĂ© poussĂ©e.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrĂ©e portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une HermĂšs en Ă©dition limitĂ©e, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnĂ©es couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont dĂ©jĂ  tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures Ă  talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrĂ©e avec le genre d&#039;ambiance de beautĂ© glacĂ©e, semblant faire baisser la tempĂ©rature dans la salle!<br /> <br /> &quot;Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l&#039;a autorisĂ©e Ă  ĂȘtre ici?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;C&#039;est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-pĂšre!&quot; Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne!&quot; Les autres haletĂšrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changĂ©!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu&#039;elle avait l&#039;habitude de garder lisses Ă©taient devenus bruns bouclĂ©s. Il avait l&#039;habitude d&#039;atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son Ă©paule. Elle avait complĂštement changĂ© de la gentille fille d&#039;Ă  cĂŽtĂ© Ă  une femme de carriĂšre mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c&#039;est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu&#039;auparavant. Elle mesurait un mĂštre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser Ă  peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l&#039;innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s&#039;Ă©tait Ă©galement vidĂ©e. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu&#039;elle avait dĂ» vivre beaucoup de choses ces derniĂšres annĂ©es!<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinĂ©e si tu ne te montres pas...&quot;<br /> <br /> Pour la premiĂšre fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine Ă©taient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> &quot;Je suis dĂ©solĂ©e, grand-pĂšre. Je suis dĂ©solĂ©e d&#039;ĂȘtre en retard!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne,&quot; Raymond cria et ouvrit Ă  peine les yeux,&quot; je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin ĂȘtre soulagĂ©...&quot;<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tĂȘte pencha et ses yeux se fermĂšrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L&#039;ECG bipait, dĂ©clarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> &quot;Grand-pĂšre? Grand-pĂšre!&quot; cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-pĂšre Ă©tait le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d&#039;elle!<br /> <br /> &quot;Ah, allez, arrĂȘte ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais Ă©tĂ© lĂ  depuis longtemps si tu t&#039;Ă©tais souciĂ© de ton grand-pĂšre! Maintenant qu&#039;il est temps de parler d&#039;hĂ©ritage, tu es venu?&quot; dit Derick, le fils aĂźnĂ© de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton Ă©tait Ă©vident.<br /> <br /> Il n&#039;avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sƓur aĂźnĂ©e, et maintenant qu&#039;elle Ă©tait la plus grande bĂ©nĂ©ficiaire de l&#039;hĂ©ritage de Raymond, Derick la dĂ©testait encore plus!<br /> <br /> &quot;Ça suffit. Appelle quelqu&#039;un et organise d&#039;abord les funĂ©railles&quot;, dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligĂ©, il tapote l&#039;Ă©paule de Johanne.&quot; Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens Ă  la maison!&quot;<br /> <br /> Les lĂšvres d&#039;Ingride se retroussĂšrent avec dĂ©dain, mais elle disait joyeusement: &quot;C&#039;est ça, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-pĂšre a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hĂ©rites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dĂ» lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante Ă  une fille qui n&#039;y connaĂźt rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naĂŻve. Laisse ton pĂšre continuer Ă  diriger l&#039;entreprise!&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne Ă©tait censĂ©e suivre ses instructions. Au fond d&#039;elle-mĂȘme, elle Ă©tait convaincue que cette derniĂšre Ă©tait aussi stupide que sa salope de mĂšre!<br /> <br /> Au moment oĂč Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrĂŽle total d&#039;Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restĂ©e sans expression. Elle dit froidement: &quot;Je ne veux pas penser Ă  cela maintenant. Je veux juste m&#039;occuper de grand-pĂšre d&#039;abord!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L&#039;enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut ĂȘtre remis Ă  plus tard!&quot;<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C&#039;Ă©tait en fin d&#039;aprĂšs-midi aprĂšs que la maison mortuaire ait rĂ©cupĂ©rĂ© le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l&#039;hĂŽpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> &quot;OĂč habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramĂšnera!&quot; dit Bruce. Sa voix Ă©tait un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressĂ© la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clĂ©s de la voiture dans sa main. &quot;Merci, mais c&#039;est moi qui ai conduit jusqu&#039;ici!&quot;<br /> <br /> Le regard indiffĂ©rent sur son visage donnait l&#039;impression qu&#039;elle Ă©tait simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce Ă©tait en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s&#039;est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: &quot;Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;C&#039;est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hĂŽtel. Au revoir!&quot; Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s&#039;est dirigĂ©e vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> BientĂŽt, une Bentley argentĂ©e est sortie du parking et a dĂ©marrĂ© en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> &quot;Il semble que ma sƓur ait bien vĂ©cu ces derniĂšres annĂ©es! Elle pouvait profiter d&#039;une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce n&#039;a pas rĂ©pondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre annĂ©es d&#039;absence de Johanne, Bruce n&#039;a pas Ă©pousĂ© Roxane. De plus, pendant cette pĂ©riode, il s&#039;est rendu compte que cette derniĂšre n&#039;Ă©tait tout simplement pas celle qu&#039;il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n&#039;a pas rompu avec Roxane Ă©tait Ă  cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine Ă©tait riche, mais ce n&#039;Ă©tait rien comparĂ© Ă  la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aĂźnĂ©s des deux familles Ă©taient des amis proches! C&#039;est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> À part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c&#039;est Roxane qui l&#039;a sauvĂ©! Depuis lors, il a jurĂ© qu&#039;il aimerait et protĂ©gerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu&#039;elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douĂ©e avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vĂȘtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dĂ» se mettre en mĂ©nage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement Ă  elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!&quot; Ingride semblait faire l&#039;Ă©loge de Johanne, mais il n&#039;Ă©tait pas difficile de comprendre ce qu&#039;elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> &quot;Maman, de quoi parles-tu?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se dĂ©brouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiĂštent jamais, oĂč qu&#039;elles aillent. Il n&#039;y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu&#039;elle!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce Ă©tait en quelque sorte un peu contrariĂ©.&quot; Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J&#039;ai une rĂ©union importante ce soir.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oui, bien sĂ»r. Conduis prudemment, d&#039;accord?&quot; dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d&#039;offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n&#039;a rien dit de plus, s&#039;est retournĂ© et est montĂ© dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> AprĂšs avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colĂšre. Elle se plaint: &quot;Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n&#039;aurais jamais dĂ» mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n&#039;a plus jamais parlĂ© de m&#039;Ă©pouser! Et maintenant qu&#039;elle est de retour, qu&#039;est-ce qu&#039;on va faire?&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait Ă©tait ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conçu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D&#039;abord, elle a droguĂ© Johanne. Puis elle a envoyĂ© la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier Ă©tait trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> AprĂšs cela, Ingride a informĂ© un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggĂ©rant d&#039;Ă©crire un drame sur la façon dont Johanne s&#039;est jetĂ©e dans les bras de son beau-frĂšre. Elle s&#039;attendait Ă  ce que cette fille soit privĂ©e de son droit d&#039;hĂ©ritage aprĂšs avoir dĂ©shonorĂ© la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couchĂ© avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont Ă©chappĂ©. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par Ă©pouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant Ă  cela, Ingride dit: &quot;Je l&#039;ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout ça Ă  cause de ton grand-pĂšre! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisĂ© cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut dĂ©fendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Mais maman...&quot; Roxane Ă©tait toujours inquiĂšte.<br /> <br /> MĂȘme si Bruce avait Ă©tĂ© bon avec elle pendant des annĂ©es, elle pouvait voir la frigiditĂ© dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L&#039;homme a rarement souri depuis qu&#039;il a divorcĂ© de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il Ă©tait devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois Ă  Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> &quot;Ne t&#039;inquiĂšte pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa dĂ©funte mĂšre! Nous sommes en train de nous Ă©loigner d&#039;elle. Pas avant qu&#039;elle ne renonce d&#039;abord Ă  sa part d&#039;hĂ©ritage...&quot;<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c&#039;Ă©tait l&#039;enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine Ă©taient arrivĂ©s au cimetiĂšre sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont Ă©galement prĂ©sentĂ©es pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetiĂšre.<br /> <br /> AprĂšs tout, Raymond Fontaine Ă©tait un gros bonnet Ă  Greyport. Alors, bien sĂ»r, ses funĂ©railles Ă©taient bien ciblĂ©es.<br /> <br /> &quot;J&#039;ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aĂźnĂ©e de la famille Fontaine hĂ©rite du Groupe Fontaine.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a sĂ©duit son beau-frĂšre il y a six ans et a forcĂ© sa sƓur Ă  partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s&#039;est mariĂ©e dans la famille Chevalier Ă  la place de sa sƓur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C&#039;est impressionnant!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Ha! Et alors? C&#039;est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a Ă©tĂ© mise Ă  la porte par la famille Chevalier, n&#039;est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dĂ©goĂ»tante!&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride Ă©tait folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S&#039;efforçant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: &quot;Puis-je avoir votre attention s&#039;il vous plaĂźt? Tout d&#039;abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d&#039;ĂȘtre venus aux funĂ©railles de Raymond, et...&quot;<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: &quot;Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relĂšve du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de rĂ©pondre: &quot;Je ne vais pas ĂȘtre dĂ©rangĂ© par d&#039;autres choses en ce jour extrĂȘmement pĂ©nible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d&#039;un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d&#039;une rĂ©union du conseil d&#039;administration pour choisir le bon directeur exĂ©cutif!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n&#039;est-elle pas lĂ  un jour si important?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Ha, c&#039;est la question que vous devriez lui poser...&quot;<br /> <br /> Pendant qu&#039;elle parlait, Ă  l&#039;extĂ©rieur du cimetiĂšre vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pĂ©nĂ©trait dans le cimetiĂšre, suivie d&#039;une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> &quot;Regardez cette plaque d&#039;immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!&quot; Les journalistes sont tout excitĂ©s et se prĂ©cipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait Ă  Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus Ă  Greyport. L&#039;un d&#039;eux Ă©tait Bruce Chevalier, et l&#039;autre Ă©tait Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> DeuxiĂšme fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait Ă©galement une sociĂ©tĂ© de divertissement appelĂ©e Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz Ă©taient des artistes sous le contrĂŽle de sa sociĂ©tĂ©.<br /> <br /> Contrairement Ă  Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours Ă©tĂ© un homme de publicitĂ©.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s&#039;ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> &quot;Wow, c&#039;est vraiment M. Grimm!&quot; La presse s&#039;avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> AprĂšs que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s&#039;est tournĂ© de l&#039;autre cĂŽtĂ© et a aidĂ© une femme vĂȘtue de noir Ă  sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> &quot;Est-ce...? Wow, c&#039;est Johanne Fontaine!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;C&#039;est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?&quot;<br /> <br /> Comme ils Ă©taient tous Ă©tonnĂ©s, un Ă  un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vĂȘtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garçons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l&#039;effet d&#039;une bombe, suscitant l&#039;intĂ©rĂȘt de tous!

Yes 2024-01-12 09:36 active 90 0 1098151068021009 Continue to listen"Her Triplet Alphas" 👉 Chapter 1: Bullied by the Triplets<br /> Charity’s POV<br /> Tomorrow was my birthday, but no one cared or even remembered because it was also the birthday of the Thorn Triplets.<br /> The Thorn Triplets were the pride and joy of the Winter Moon Pack. They were the sons of Alpha Romeo Thorn. They were filthy rich, devilishly handsome and disgustingly arrogant. All the young she-wolves adored them wholeheartedly, but I was not included.<br /> At the tender age of nine, my parents left the pack to go rogue then I was taken into the pack house under the care of Alpha Romeo and his wife, Ronnie. As if I had not been devastated enough, I now had three twelve-year old tormenters. The identical triplet sons of the Alpha were, in order of birth, Alex, Felix and Calix.<br /> They despised me and ensured that I knew I was beneath them. My parents had incurred a huge. Thus, I had to earn my keep and repay my by doing as many chores as possible while the triplets enjoyed an idyllic childhood in the very same house.<br /> Tomorrow, on November eleventh, the triplets would turn twenty-one and take over the pack while I would turn eighteen and experience my first shift. Eighteen was also the minimum age when werewolf found their fated mate but I did not care about that. All I wanted was to come of age so I could leave this behind.<br /> For the past month, I had been drowning in work while attending my final year of high school. I had seven more months of high school before I could leave this place. That was the deal. At eighteen and after high school, I got my freedom and whatever I had paid off by then would be the end of it. The current Alpha and Luna seemed to think they were being extremely generous.<br /> Today, I got up early to make breakfast for the whole family. The triplets came over when the breakfast was ready.<br /> Alex was the eldest and the most serious and severe. He would surely rule with an iron fist and a surly demeanour. Felix as the middle triplet loved being the centre of attention and was naturally filled with wise-cracks, jokes and quips. Classic middle child. The youngest, Calix, was the charmer, a professional sweet-talker and Mommy’s favourite. He almost treated me like I was human.<br /> “Did you make all of this, Charity?” Asked Calix, immediately trying to pull my hair out of its bun. I nodded, dodging him, only to bump into Felix who smirked and slipped my hair tie off. My curls tumbled down all around me. Felix and Calix laughed.<br /> “Stop!” I implored them, reaching for my only hair tie. Felix held it high above my head. He threw it to Alex who caught it and put it in his pocket. I tried to lunge towards Alex but Felix grabbed me. Felix and Alex started shoving me back and forth between them like I was a ball and they were playing catch.<br /> “I give up! I give up!” I said while they snickered.<br /> Calix said, “All right. Cut it out. Let her go wash the wares. Mom wants the place kept as clean as possible so there’ll be less to do tomorrow.”<br /> The elder two relinquished me. I ran into the kitchen. My heart was racing. I started on the dishes. By the time I was done, the family of five hungry werewolves, four of them from Alpha stock, had devoured literally everything I made except for one pancake. The chairs were all empty. I went to get the last pancake but Felix snatched it up. He had zoomed in out of nowhere, fast as a cheetah and quiet as a mouse.<br /> “I haven’t eaten anything,” I told him, my eyes wide.<br /> He ate the pancake in two bites.<br /> I sighed. I refused to cry.<br /> The Triplets were widely regarded as the most handsome eligible in the Pack.<br /> Well, never mind, their attitude didn’t matter.<br /> ...<br /> At the night before the triplet’s birthday party...<br /> The triplets walked into the house, each having their arm around a girl.<br /> They had different girlfriends every two months or so. It did not make sense learning the girls’ names. Also, the triplets were anxious to find their real mate.<br /> They were not sure if they had three separate mates or just one mate to share. So theoretically identical twins and triplets were naturally occurring clones. That was so crazy to me. The triplets were handsome but they were and three mates sounded so complicated.<br /> The party planner Ronda glared at their girlfriends. The girls did not stay long and when they left, Ronda told the triplets I had showed up really late to help her. I sighed. I had been under the table literally as I wrapped tiny presents for door prizes. All the pack members got to pick a mystery present from a huge box tomorrow.<br /> The triplets stared at me, their eyes wide. They looked at each other. I remembered my makeover. I did not think they would notice or even care.<br /> I took a step back. Felix looked flabbergasted and Calix smirked at me.<br /> “Leave it to us, Ronda,” said Felix, recovering his usual haughty sneer.”<br /> Ronda smiled maliciously at me. She was the most immature I had ever met including the triplets and that was saying something. The triplets had me backed against the kitchen island.<br /> “I’m sorry,” I said, “I had to do some extra math.”<br /> It was not a complete lie.<br /> “Ok,” said Felix simply. He took a step towards me. “What’s all of this?” He gestured to my outfit, makeup and hair.<br /> “My eighteenth birthday is tomorrow too. I’m just trying out how I wanna look,” I said, looking down.<br /> “Do you have a boyfriend, is that it?” Asked Alex, anger rising in his voice.<br /> Why did he even care?<br /> “Don’t play games with us,” said Felix softly. “Is all of this for your mate? Have you figured out who he is?”<br /> “No!” I said.<br /> “You’ll only know for sure tomorrow. Your inner wolf will tell you who your mate is,” said Calix.<br /> “I don’t want a mate,” I said honestly. I had never had a guy be nice to me and I could not picture it happening.<br /> Alex asked like I was crazy for saying that.<br /> The Triplets were eager to find their real mate. They talked about it every birthday. They would visit other packs hoping to get a whiff of their mate. They thought maybe their mate was younger than them. That would explain why they could not pick up her scent. Only mates who had come of age could be discovered.<br /> “Because he’d just be mean to me and call me names and I get enough of that from you,” I snapped. I should not have snapped. I was a little frightened now.<br /> The triplets had not hit me since we were little. The last fight happened when I was eleven and they were fourteen.<br /> They dragged me out to the frozen river behind the pack house. There was a hole in it for fishing. I was small enough to dip in the hole. Their parents had been furious. I went to the hospital for hypothermia. I never knew what their punishments had been but after that we never got physical with each other.<br /> Asked Alex.<br /> I shrugged.<br /> “No werewolf would insult his own mate or be mean to her,” said Felix, rolling his eyes.<br /> “Don’t you know anything?” Added Calix.<br /> “Ok, thanks, I get it now,” I said simply.<br /> “Don’t make her admit it,” said Calix. “She’s embarrassed, Felix.”<br /> “Admit it! You did this for us!” Felix exclaimed, grinning wickedly. He kept coming closer and my back was pressed against the kitchen island now.<br /> Alex was quiet, smiling faintly and watching me closely. I just wanted them to go away. I was so frustrated with my whole life. There would not be a single present for me tomorrow. No one had counselled me about my shift at midnight and I was scared. I knew it would be painful and I did not need this from these three privileged who did not deserve the title of Alpha. They were physically Alphas but they had no integrity. They could not lead this pack. What a joke! I decided to play along.<br /> “Yeah, ok,” I said softly, looking down to feign embarrassment and hugging myself tightly. “I dressed up for you. I asked two girls at school to help me. I really did have a math thing but I went to get dolled up after so that made me late as well. I’m sorry.”<br /> I hid my face in my hands, stifling my laughter. They seemed to think I was crying.<br /> “Hey, you know, we aren’t the little boys we used to be when we would fight with you,” said Alex gently. “We’re taking over this pack tomorrow and as you’re part of this pack we just wanna know what’s going on with you that’s all.”<br /> Huh?<br /> “Don’t cry,” said Felix exasperadteay.<br /> “Charity,” said Calix, using my real name for the first time in nine years.<br /> I dropped my hands. I was shocked. I just stared at him.<br /> “You look pretty, ok” said Calix, winking.<br /> My heart skipped . He was bending down. His face was really close to me.<br /> <br /> “You need to have respect for your Alphas, Charity,” Alex said. The spell that Calix had cast on me was broken.<br /> I screamed. “Let me go! You have no honour,” I cried, struggling against Felix. He released me.<br /> “We were just playing with you Charity!” Said Felix “Good grief! Go! Run upstairs!”<br /> I ran upstairs and to my room. I locked the door. I sat on my cot, hugging my knees to my chest. The Alpha and Luna came knocking on my door when darkness fell. I went out to them.<br /> “We almost forgot, you have your first shift at midnight, same birthday as the triplets,” said Alpha Romeo rubbing the back of his.<br /> I smiled. Were they going to counsel me or give me a gift?<br /> “Yeah, so make sure and be out of the house at least by 11:45pm so you don’t break anything or make any mess when you shift,” said Luna Ronnie.<br /> I nodded. I supposed that was one piece of advice. I left the house at half past eleven wearing my old clothes. I crunched through the snow. It was pitch-black. I sighed. I was nervous. I was scared of the pain. I wished my parents could be here. For the first nine years old my life, they had been in and out of rehabs. They were inconsistent but they actually seemed to love me a lot.<br /> They would always make my birthdays and holidays special no matter how high they were. They were deeply in love with each other as mates and back then I almost looked forward to having a mate of my own. It was almost midnight.<br /> I was a wolf. I ran through the night, white snow beneath me and black sky above me. I practically flew. When I had tired of running. They would probably so cold after lying in the snow.<br /> I passed by their rooms. The house had three floors. The Alpha and Luna slept on the top floor. The Triplets and I slept on the middle floor. I had a tiny converted storage room and each triplet had a master bedroom and bathroom. I snuck in. He was the least scary of the triplets so I did not mind if he caught my scent when he came home and realised I had been in his home. His room literally smelled like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. I looked around. Maybe he had pot cookies or something. I did not find anything. Ugh. I had put my scent all over some of his stuff for nothing.<br /> I walked out and caught another scrumptious scent. This one was coming from the middle master bedroom that belonged to Felix. I dared not go in there but I sniffed the doorway. The smell reminded me of sweet coconut shavings. There was a tropical edge to it. I breathed it in, wondering why I had never picked it up before. My heart started to race. I was afraid to go near Alex’s room but I had to know.<br /> I refused to think about it. I walked over to Alex’s door. I picked up the scent. The strong smell of coffee and cocoa hit me. My mouth watered a little. The window blew open suddenly and all three scents wafted down the hallway. Their combined scents hit me.<br /> I went to my tiny room and locked the door. I tried to fall asleep but I kept tossing and turning. Those scents were plaguing me. Would they smell me when they returned home? Would I suddenly smell different now to them? I did not want to analyse it too much. Maybe my enhanced sense of smell was just picking up a lot that I had not noticed before.<br /> <br /> Chapter 2: Triplets’ Shared Mate<br /> Third Person<br /> Calix, Felix and Alex sauntered in the house at around three in the morning. It was Saturday. Later tonight, they had their official birthday party and alpha ceremony. Celebrating with their girlfriends and their “bros” from the town had left them exhausted and a little tipsy. They said good night and happy birthday to each other and parted ways.<br /> Calix stumbled into his room. A familiar scent greeted him but there was some unmistakable new element to it like a new ingredient enhancing an old favourite recipe of his. Someone had been in his room. A girl. She smelled like roses and honeysuckle. That scent was driving him crazy. He could not sleep. It was all over everything. He felt as if he recognised the smell but he could not say exactly who it was. Surely he would have noticed and remembered someone who smelled this good.<br /> He could not take it anymore when the sun came up. He banged on his brothers’ doors. They greeted him still half-asleep.<br /> “What’s wrong, little bro?” Asked Alex, concern evident on his face.<br /> “It better be good. It’s six o’ clock in the morning. We partied last night and we’re partying tonight,” said Felix, doing a little dance and yawning.<br /> “Smell my room,” said Calix.<br /> His brothers laughed. He walked away from them. They followed him.<br /> “Enough!” Said Felix storming into Calix’s room. Felix stopped in his tracks. Alex entered and his eyes widened.<br /> “Oh my God,” said Felix. “What is that?” The Alpha started sniffing about his brother’s room.<br /> “Little Bro, who was in your room?” Asked Alex sharply.<br /> “You’ve been with our mate!” Said Felix, growling. “You’re keeping her all to yourself.”<br /> “No, I don’t know whose scent it is and it’s driving me crazy,” said Calix with tired eyes.<br /> “Our mate’s been in this room,” said Felix gleefully. “She found us!<br /> “What about Sandra, Tonya and Avery?” Asked Calix, mentioning their current girlfriends.<br /> “We’ve only been them like a couple weeks! They know they’re not our mates so it was a temporary thing! I’m gonna end it with Tonya over the phone.”<br /> “Yeah,” agreed Alex. “If we can find our mate in time for the party we don’t want the girls showing up.”<br /> “Yeah, they’d be jealous,” said Calix. “And there’s one of her and three of them so we better tell them before tonight.”<br /> <br /> “Who would be in my room?” Calix wondered.<br /> “There’s something familiar about the smell,” said Alex, smiling. “It kinda smells a little like
” Alex paused, frowning. He got up and ran down the hallway. He stood in front of the door to Charity’s little makeshift room. The same smell hit him. It made him shiver. Honeysuckle and Roses. He sighed. He found her door unlocked and opened it eagerly to reveal an empty room with the cot in the corner made. His face fell.<br /> It suddenly dawned on him just how small Charity’s room was compared to the other bedrooms in the house. There were empty guest bedrooms bigger than this room. Why didn’t his parents give her one of those?<br /> His brothers came up behind him. Felix looked dumbfounded. Calix walked into Charity’s room and lay in her cot, deeply inhaling her scent.<br /> “I’m gonna wait for her to come back, right here,” he said, curling up on her tiny cot. It was comically small for the six-foot-four Alpha.<br /> “I wanna go get her right now,” said Felix, his eyes worried. “We have a lot of talking to do.”<br /> “Relax, Felix,” said Alex. “Our mate already lives with us so we’re good,” said the eldest Alpha grinning.<br /> “No, we’re not good!” Said Felix staring at them.<br /> “Don’t call her that!” Snarled Calix, his blue eyes turning black.<br /> “Sorry! Sorry! It’s a bad habit. Charity,” Felix said. Her real name felt good to say out loud.<br /> “What’s your problem?” Asked Alex. He was looking through Charity’s things, thinking of all the stuff he was going to buy her. She hardly had anything so she would be easy to surprise. It was her birthday too after all.<br /> “We have to go to the mall as soon as it opens at ten,” he told his younger brothers. “It’s Charity’s birthday too and I’m sure Mom and Dad didn’t get her anything.”<br /> “Are you hearing yourself?” Asked Felix.<br /> “Again! What is your problem?” Alex asked Felix. Calix opened his eyes to glare at Felix.<br /> “We’ve treated Charity bad! When she realises she’s our mate, she’s going to reject us!” Said Felix.<br /> Calix shot up into a sitting position. “No, she’s not,” the youngest said. “No, she can’t. We’ve been waiting three years for our mate.”<br /> “Charity said she didn’t want a mate, remember?” Said Felix, spelling it out for them.<br /> “Yeah,” said Alex. “But when the mate bond actually hits her, she’ll be putty in our hands.”<br /> Calix beamed, grinning at Alex. “Yep,” Calix agreed.<br /> Felix rolled his eyes. “Do you remember why Charity did not want a mate? She said because he’d be mean to her like we were. Her mate is literally us.”<br /> Calix and Alex were starting to look worried.<br /> “She’s going to freak out!” Said Felix. “She’s going to try to leave.<br /> Alex smirked. “She has seven more months of high school. It’s November. We have until June or July with her to convince her otherwise.”<br /> Felix calmed down a little, thinking it over.<br /> Calix grinned wickedly, his dimples showing, mischief in his baby blue eyes, “Charity might hate us now but by next summer we’ll be making her submit.”<br /> His elder brothers burst into laughter.<br /> <br /> 👇👇👇<br /> There are limited chapters to put here,click the button below to open Wehear to continue reading&quot;Her Triplet Alphas&quot;<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book) INSTALL_MOBILE_APP http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.j 103443792237928 Best Werewolf & Romance Audiobook https://facebook.com/audiobook2022 308 1 751,046,639,747,299 2024-01-11 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 0 1 1 Install now 0 Best Werewolf & Romance Audiobook 120202481972780639 play.google.com NONE video http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joyreading.wehear 2024-01-04 03:09 https://scontent-atl3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/415005914_1307716679946527_1127738447536911279_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=pQm9TzeFShoAX__QwSi&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-2.xx&oh=00_AfBnxb-dVJ5GLX7-TmGShAnbt3a2-Eu9WuoMkhc3Yb9J-g&oe=65A69CF0 person_profile 0 0 3 Best Werewolf & Romance Audiobook 0 0 2024-01-06 02:00 View Edit

She was Saturday morning&#039;s first live-action super-heroine, saving lives and stopping crime in a mini-skirt and go-go boots on The Secrets of Isis! When science teacher Andrea Thomas unearthed a lost treasure on an archeological dig, she found that the mystical amulet endowed her with the powers given to the ancient Egyptian Queen, Isis! Now granted the powers of animals and the elements, Isis soars as the falcon soared, runs with the speed of gazelles, and commands the elements of the sky and the earth. Although her secret identity is unknown to even her closest friends, fellow teacher Rick Mason, or students Cindy Lee and Renee Carrol, Andrea uses her powers as Isis to stop criminals, save lives, right wrongs, and teach valuable lessons... sometimes with the aid of fellow hero Captain Marvel (Shazam!). Now available on DVD for the first time, the entire two seasons of The Secrets of Isis contain a treasure-trove of special features, and all the super-powered goodness that the heroine represented.
