A surprised voice came from the other end of the line.<br /> It was Joanna's voice.<br /> Only then did Madeline realize that she had picked up Jeremy's phone.<br /> She was startled and immediately sat up.<br /> Casting a quick glance at the screen, she handed the phone to Jeremy. "Joanna is calling you."<br /> Jeremy took the phone, walked to the window, and engaged in a conversation for a few minutes.<br /> Although Madeline couldn't hear the details, she noticed his expressions alternating from a frown to relaxation.<br /> After hanging up, Jeremy walked back to the bed.<br /> Madeline looked at him somewhat apologetically. "I picked up the wrong call. Did she misunderstand something?"<br /> "I've explained it."<br /> Pausing for a moment, Jeremy looked at Madeline. "As a couple, waking up together in the same bed is a normal thing."<br /> "Okay," Madeline said with a nod.<br /> As she was about to get up, Jeremy suddenly approached her face. "What happened to your face?"<br /> Madeline checked herself in the mirror. It turned out her face was covered in red rashes, and there were quite a few on her legs, arms, and all over.<br /> She guessed it was caused by the cake she had yesterday because she was allergic to eggs. She harbored the hope that she wouldn't be allergic by taking just a bite, yet reality caught up with her.<br /> Anything related to Jeremy, Madeline always harbored some hope, and the marriage was no different. However, reality always forced her to face the truth.<br /> "Just a bit of an allergy. I've taken medicine. It will go away in a few days," Madeline explained.<br /> "Are you really okay?" Jeremy asked.<br /> "Yeah. It won't affect our meeting with Grandpa. You can rest assured. Wait for me. I'll finish my makeup and get changed. Then we can go together to discuss the divorce with Grandpa."<br /> She knew he was eager for her to initiate the divorce, and there was no room for negotiation.<br /> Since he had made up his mind, she wouldn't seek his sympathy.<br /> Eliciting sympathy was not her style, and her self-esteem wouldn't allow it to happen.<br /> "We're not going to Grandpa's. I'll take you to the hospital to check your face," Jeremy said.<br /> Madeline was surprised. "Has Grandpa agreed?"<br /> Jeremy shook his head and then explained, "There's a change of plan. Grandpa is not in good health. He has brought his 80th birthday party forward, scheduled for a week from now. Grandpa always likes you. If we bring up the divorce now, he can't enjoy his birthday party. Let's tell him after the party."<br /> "Okay." Madeline nodded. "Grandpa treats me the best among the whole family. I don't want him to be affected by our divorce."<br /> "Sounds like you're accusing me of not treating you well," Jeremy teased.<br /> Madeline didn't know how to reply.<br /> After her mother passed away, Charles brought her back and provided her with a warm and happy home. He also took care of her and supported her education.<br /> Without Charles, she couldn't imagine how she could have spent these years.<br /> "Don't worry. Once Grandpa's birthday is over, I will bring it up to him. It won't delay you," She said.<br /> Madeline didn't want Jeremy to misunderstand her that she would use Charles' birthday to delay the process.<br /> "You seem more eager to get a divorce than me. Are you so impatient to start a new life with your old flame?" Jeremy asked.<br /> He rubbed his temples, feeling oddly annoyed for some reason.<br /> After breakfast, Madeline, defeated by Jeremy's insistence, was taken to the hospital.<br /> Inside the doctor's office, Madeline sat on a chair, and Jeremy stood beside her.<br /> She felt a bit nervous, as she hadn't expected Jeremy to accompany her all the way.<br /> "Do you know what you are allergic to?"<br /> "Yes."<br /> "Then why did you still eat the cake made from eggs and make yourself suffer? Have you taken any medication?"<br /> Madeline shook her head, feeling embarrassed. "Nope."<br /> "I'll prescribe some medication for you. Take them when you get back. If the symptoms persist, come back for injections immediately."<br /> Madeline placed her hand on her abdomen, feeling hesitant and concerned about the possible impact of the oral medication on her baby.<br /> With Jeremy standing nearby, she couldn't ask the doctor directly.<br /> Just when she was extremely anxious, Jeremy's phone rang, and he stepped outside to take the call.<br /> Feeling relieved, Madeline turned to the doctor. "Doc, I'm pregnant. Is it safe to take these medications?"<br /> "You should have told me in the very beginning. I'll replace them with topical medications," the doctor replied.<br /> "Thank you, doc."<br /> After leaving the doctor's office, Jeremy's demeanor changed drastically.<br /> The warmth that was there before disappeared, replaced by an icy coldness.<br /> Suppressing his emotions throughout the way, he finally couldn't hold back any longer when they reached the pharmacy. "You've gotten quite skilled at lying, huh?"<br /> Madeline knew he was referring to her lie about having taken medication.<br /> She lowered her head, feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you."<br /> "Then why did you? Are you hiding anything?"<br /> Madeline remained silent, finding him to be somewhat aggressive.<br /> "We're getting divorced soon, and I don't want to trouble you further. I have been troublesome enough for you over the past two years," she explained.<br /> "Thought you didn't realize you're troublesome," Jeremy said without much patience.<br /> Madeline blushed and felt a twinge in her heart. Turned out he indeed thought of her as a burden.<br /> The next moment, Jeremy's voice softened.<br /> "I've gotten used to it. This additional trouble doesn't matter much."<br /> Getting the medication, Jeremy suddenly asked while reading the instructions, "I remember the doctor prescribed oral medications. Why did it change to topical ones now?"<br /> Madeline was stunned.<br /> Being overly attentive and discerning wasn't always a good thing.<br /> "Topical medication is fine too!" Madeline remarked.<br /> "Your allergy is severe. You need to suppress it as soon as possible. Oral medications work better. Besides, Grandpa's birthday party is approaching. If those red rashes on your skin haven't cleared up by then, he might think I've mistreated you."<br /> "I'll explain it to him. Trust me; it won't take that long." Madeline earnestly reassured him.<br /> However, Jeremy didn't compromise.<br /> "No, I'll switch it back to oral medications. I don't want you to come back for injections if the topical treatment isn't effective," he stated.<br /> He headed toward the doctor's office, intending to get the prescription changed again.<br /> Madeline took a sigh and hurriedly stopped him. "Hey, wait, um... I asked the doctor to change it. I've been having some stomach issues these days, and oral medication isn't suitable for people with an upset stomach."<br /> She paused and then added, "Topical treatment might be slower, but it's safer, right?"<br /> The reason finally convinced Jeremy, and he halted his steps.<br /> In the car, Madeline applied the medicine to her face, legs, and arms.<br /> However, she couldn't reach the back of her neck. Just as she struggled with this, Jeremy took the initiative to ask, "Are you sure you don't want my help?"<br /> He always seemed to read people's minds, as if everything was within his control.<br /> "Well, here you go!" Madeline handed the bottle to him.<br /> Jeremy suddenly frowned. "Is this the right attitude to ask me for help?"<br /> Madeline bit her lip, determined to show him a different side. <br /> Blinking her eyes, she pleaded with an extremely sweet and stagy voice, "Honey, pretty please! I can't reach my neck. Can you help me, please?"<br /> "Madeline... I didn't mean this tone..."<br /> Jeremy's words were cut short by a sudden braking.<br /> Madeline was thrown into Jeremy's arms, which startled her.<br /> Fortunately, Jeremy shielded her head with his hand. Otherwise, she might have suffered a severe injury.<br /> The driver kept apologizing. "I'm sorry, Mr. Whitman."<br /> "Focus on driving."<br /> Jeremy then turned to look at Madeline. "That's not what I meant."<br /> "But honey, you said my attitude wasn't right. Don't you like this attitude?"<br /> Madeline continued with her stagy and soft voice.<br /> In their two-year marriage, this was the first time she had talked to Jeremy this way.<br /> In the past, she was afraid he wouldn't like it, so she never showed any excessive emotions before him.<br /> Now, considering they were getting divorced anyway, she turned emboldened.<br /> Anyway, this was the last time.<br /> "Sit properly," Jeremy instructed Madeline.<br /> She immediately sat upright.<br /> "No more this from now on," he added.<br /> "Okay..."<br /> Jeremy seemed dissatisfied with Madeline's response. "Oh? Did you hear me or not?"<br /> "I heard you."<br /> "Then make sure you remember it," Jeremy emphasized.<br /> "Also, you especially can't talk to other men like this," Jeremy added.<br /> Jeremy, What are you doing? <br /> Are you out of your mind? You two are getting divorced soon. She can talk to any man any way she wants. <br /> Why do you think you have the right to control her?<br /> Suddenly, realization dawned upon Jeremy, and he cursed himself inwardly.<br /> He found himself absurd.<br /> Annoyed, he loosened his tie, and finally, he felt a bit more at ease with his breath.<br /> While applying the medicine to Madeline, Jeremy was gentle and delicate.<br /> His fingertips lightly caressed Madeline's nape, creating an itching sensation.<br /> His scorching breath on her earlobe evoked an irresistible flutter within her heart.<br /> Madeline couldn't help but shudder, and Jeremy's fingers followed a tremble.<br /> His deep eyes revealed emotions that were hard to discern.<br /> Finally, Jeremy finished applying, and Madeline sighed with relief.<br /> At a traffic light, Jeremy suddenly said to the driver, "Turn left. Go to the mall."<br /> Madeline asked, "Aren't you going to the company?"<br /> "Grandpa's birthday is brought forward. We haven't prepared a gift yet."<br /> Madeline immediately nodded. "I'll go with you."<br /> Thus, they went directly to the jewelry section.<br /> Just as they arrived at the store, a soft voice reached them. "Jeremy!"<br /> Madeline turned around and was almost petrified by the scene before her. In fact, she wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.<br /> It was Joanna, sitting in a wheelchair.<br /> How could it be?<br /> Madeline remembered Joanna was a dancer, and she had never heard anyone say that Joanna had leg problems.<br /> She was utterly shocked and stood there in a daze for a long time.<br /> She didn't come back to her senses until she heard Jeremy's voice. "Why are you here? The AC in the mall is strong. Don't catch a cold."<br /> While talking, he had already taken off his coat and draped it over Joanna.<br /> Joanna looked at Madeline with a bit of embarrassment. "I'm not cold. He's always too worried about me, afraid I might catch a cold."<br /> This statement was clearly intended for Madeline's ears.<br /> Madeline lowered her head, saying no word.<br /> Joanna then looked at Jeremy. "I heard your grandpa's birthday party is brought forward. I want to pick a gift for him. Since you're here, can you help me choose one?"<br /> "Sure!"<br /> Joanna immediately revealed a joyful smile, gentle and bright.<br /> "Narra, could you bring me my water?"<br /> Narra Santos said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. The water in the thermos is finished. I'll have someone bring a bottle for you."<br /> Jeremy immediately interjected, "How long would you have her wait? I'll go get it."<br /> Then, he looked at Madeline and said, "I'll be right back."<br /> "Okay." Madeline nodded.<br /> After Jeremy left, Joanna sent Narra away.<br /> Clearly, Joanna expected a private conversation with Madeline.<br /> Madeline moved her lips, about to speak, while Joanna beat her to it. "Look, he's overly cautious. Anything related to me, no matter how trivial, he insists on personally taking care of it. I told him to leave these things to my assistant, but he said he can't trust anyone else."<br /> Although Madeline wasn't interested in their lovey-dovey exchanges, these words managed to infiltrate her mind.<br /> Jeremy was indeed very attentive.<br /> In their two-year marriage, he never missed any of her birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays.<br /> However, he always left them to Patrick. Jeremy never personally took care of anything.<br /> Yet for Joanna, even a simple task like bringing her some water, he insisted on doing it himself.<br /> In comparison to Joanna, Madeline felt like a joke.<br /> She suffered a crushing defeat.<br /> After a moment of silence, Joanna broke the ice. "Care to talk?"<br /> "Yeah." Madeline nodded.<br /> Observing Madeline's gaze on her legs, Joanna said, "It seems you really don't know."<br /> Shaking her head, Madeline responded, "I've never heard about it. What happened to your legs? Jeremy didn't tell me."<br /> "Of course, he didn't." Joanna's tone suddenly intensified.<br /> Perhaps realizing this, she took a deep breath and immediately composed herself. "Sorry, I got a bit carried away. Not only Jeremy, but the entire Whitman family probably wouldn't dare to tell you."<br /> "Why?"<br /> "Jeremy's grandpa is the absolute authority in their family. Who dares to defy his direct order?"<br /> Seeing Madeline's confusion, Joanna continued to say, "The Whitman family has protected you too well, especially Jeremy's grandpa. Madeline, even though you are a nobody, you are incredibly lucky.<br /> Jeremy's grandpa treats you like his own granddaughter, why? Just because your mother saved their lives? Sometimes, I even wonder, if my mother had been the one to save them, would things between Jeremy and I be different? Would I have been able to marry him as I wished?"<br /> Madeline had a bad premonition.<br /> For some reason, she felt that something she didn't know was gradually unraveling.<br /> "What do you mean by that?"<br /> Madeline's breath became somewhat rapid.<br /> "Back then, Jeremy's grandpa was determined to match you and Jeremy. He wanted Jeremy to marry you. But Jeremy never agreed. Neither of them compromised. However, Jeremy was young, and all the power in the Whitman family was gripped in his grandpa's hands. He used various methods to pressure Jeremy, and in the end, Jeremy submitted."<br /> "No, you're lying."<br /> Suddenly, Madeline started retaliating like an agitated wild cat.<br /> She couldn't accept that her marriage was the result of behind-the-scenes pressure.<br /> Joanna chuckled. "I'm telling you the truth. Jeremy married you only to protect me."<br /> "What did you say?"<br /> Madeline couldn't believe it. The harsh news sent an uncontrollable shudder into her body.<br /> She felt as if falling into an ice cellar, a chill creeping up from the soles of her feet, gnawing every inch of her skin.<br /> Everyone had told her that Jeremy had married her out of his free will.<br /> She had personally asked Jeremy, "Did you marry me because you want? I don't wish you to marry me just because of your grandpa's command. Neither do I want to put you in a difficult position."<br /> How did Jeremy respond?<br /> He said, "Yes. Joanna and I have broken up. Let's make an agreement with a three-year limit. I'll make an effort to develop feelings for you. If, after three years, I still haven't fallen in love with you, we'll proceed with an amicable divorce. Do you agree?"<br /> "Of course!" She smiled brighter than ever.<br /> Jeremy had also asked her, "Why did you agree to marry me? Don't you have someone you love? Being bound by marriage is acceptable for you? Don't you want to pursue your own love?"<br /> "I do. I've been in love with him for eight years." She shook her head and added, "But that has ended."<br /> Because she had become his wife. They skipped love but directly owned the marriage, which completed a significant step in her life.<br /> But now, Joanna told her that all of it was a lie.<br /> Were all those days and nights they spent together just his act?<br /> Every moment of their intimacy, every tender embrace on those nights, were they all fake?<br /> Was there nothing genuine at all?<br /> Madeline felt a bitter heartache as if she were a clown.<br /> She actually allowed herself to be manipulated by Jeremy's intricate schemes over and over again.<br /> "I don't believe it unless you tell me how his grandfather forced him."<br /> Madeline clenched her fists. After spending considerable time together, she knew Jeremy so well.<br /> If it weren't for extremely important leverage, given his temperament, he wouldn't succumb even if he was held at gunpoint.<br /> Joanna's smirked face revealed a hint of mockery.<br /> "Why can't you spare yourself from this? Well, then. I can tell you. His grandpa threatened him. If he didn't marry you, his grandpa would send me abroad. We wouldn't be able to see each other in this lifetime. Although we couldn't be together, he compromised for the chance to meet me again."<br /> Madeline bit her lips, feeling incredibly distressed.<br /> It was hard for her to say a word.<br /> Joanna continued her assault. "As for my legs, do you remember Jeremy received a call during your wedding ceremony and almost left on the spot?"<br /> "Yeah."<br /> Everything that happened at her wedding was still fresh in her mind.<br /> "It was because I got into a car accident on my way to your wedding. I nearly lost my life, and the doctors worked tirelessly for an entire day to barely save me. Unfortunately, my legs were left paralyzed."<br /> No wonder Jeremy rushed away immediately after the wedding.<br /> Madeline had asked him if something happened at the company.<br /> He said a friend had a car accident, and he wanted to take care of things. He even asked her help to cover it up since his grandfather prohibited him from going.<br /> Madeline remembered Charles had called her and asked if Jeremy was staying with her.<br /> But she didn't even suspect him and told Charles they were together.<br /> On their wedding night, he didn't return home.<br /> Little did she know he was with another woman that night.<br /> In the following days, he spent little time at home, looking exhausted.<br /> But he never told her that the friend he mentioned was Joanna.<br /> What if she had known it in the first place?<br /> Madeline forced a smile. Even if she had known it, she would probably still cover it up for him.<br /> She loved him too much. She couldn't bear to see his grandfather scold him.<br /> "So, why are you telling me all this now?"<br /> Madeline looked at Joanna. In an instant, she acted like a hedgehog on the defensive, with all her quills raised to shield her vulnerable core.<br /> "Tell me, am I the source of your disaster? Did I cause you to lose your legs?"<br /> "Madeline, ask yourself. Is it not you?" Joanna's voice became heated.<br /> "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had a car accident on my way to your wedding. My legs wouldn't have been paralyzed. If it weren't for you, I would have married Jeremy. We might have had children and lived happily together."<br /> Madeline struggled to maintain control.<br /> After a good while, she looked up and responded in a calm tone, "It's not because of me. You just found a convenient excuse and a scapegoat for your crippled legs.<br /> I'm indeed a nobody, but I'm no pushover. Don't try to pin everything on me.<br /> No one invited you to my wedding, and no one asked you to drive after drinking. The root cause of everything lies in your lack of self-respect."<br /> Madeline said firmly, word by word.<br /> Joanna stared at Madeline in disbelief.<br /> After two years, she couldn't believe how the once timid girl, who always hid behind Jeremy and was unconfident of even speaking loudly, had suddenly become so assertive.<br /> "Do you think I would be absent from the wedding of the person I love the most?"<br /> "Love the most?" Madeline sneered. "Joanna, just because Jeremy doesn't know what you've done doesn't mean I don't. Don't force me to get you exposed."<br /> "Nonsense! Don't you slander me!"<br /> In her excitement, Joanna stumbled and suddenly fell from her wheelchair.<br /> At that moment, Jeremy returned.<br /> He put down the thermos, gently helped Joanna up, and asked with a cold frown, "Can someone tell me what exactly happened?"<br /> <br /> 👇👇👇<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open Dreame to continue reading"Billionaire's Secret Wife"<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book)	DOWNLOAD	https://m.suenovela.fun/novel/1628855040?product=1	192144063986866	Dreame Great Stories	https://facebook.com/61554881265921	16	1	438,820,225,357,621	2024-03-29 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	1	Download	Dreame Great Stories	120211383051960370	suenovela.onelink.me	NONE	image		https://m.suenovela.fun/novel/1628855040?product=13&auto_jump=true&utm_source=facebook_ads&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&af_prt=changxiaoagency&af_c_id={{campaign.id}}&af_adset_id={{adset.id}}&af_ad_id={{ad.id}}		2024-03-28 03:23	https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434727305_2088388971540067_6013417417271779673_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=VQpEdTQ61zAAX-x-m8R&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AfC5yrBgEGKgwmyVEV5WO83y0hhqdqTgCBqDjwpb7NCLOw&oe=660FAEE5	person_profile	0	Dreame Great Stories	https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434135385_924875662673206_6687562107180746209_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=gQCtPgI7iWIAX8YNfTr&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AfC3oJIyTlEbXKVn7ra8TEq0n-VSGfWdjC_BJcDMv0W7Vw&oe=660F8474	3	Dreame Great Stories	2024-03-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

Only then did I realize that the dream marriage I hoped for years was merely a scam from the beginning.<br /> "Do we have to get divorced? What if we are having a baby?"<br /> The rhythmic sound of flowing water resonated in the bathroom. Jeremy Whitman was taking a shower.<br /> Madeline Crawford, wrapped in a blanket, got up from the bed. Her cheeks flushed at the thought of the intimacy of the previous night.<br /> Despite being married, each intimate moment still evoked bashfulness within her.<br /> The water sound soon stopped. Clad in nothing but a bath towel, Jeremy emerged from the bathroom.<br /> Handing him a set of clothes, Madeline said, "Breakfast is ready. I'll wait for you downstairs."<br /> "Okay," replied Jeremy.<br /> Walking downstairs, Madeline meticulously took out a cake from the refrigerator, positioning it at the center of the dining table.<br /> She clutched a pregnancy test report in her palm, and her heart thumped with a mix of tension and anticipation.<br /> Today marked their second wedding anniversary, and Madeline had resolved to share the news of her pregnancy with Jeremy.<br /> Jeremy, now attired in a bespoke black suit, radiated an air of sophistication and charm and descended the stairs.<br /> After savoring breakfast, Madeline gripped the report firmly, took a deep breath, and said, "Jeremy, there's something important I need to share with you."<br /> "Actually, I also wanna have a word with you."<br /> "Alright, you go first," said Madeline.<br /> Rising from his seat, Jeremy retrieved a document from a drawer, extending it toward Madeline with composure.<br /> "This is the divorce agreement. Take a moment to peruse it when you are available."<br /> Caught off guard, Madeline fought desperately to regain control, ensuring she didn't fall.<br /> She took a sharp breath. The air rushing into her lungs felt like knives cutting through her.<br /> Divorce agreement?<br /> Her mind went blank for a moment. After a while, Madeline managed to find her voice, and she asked him in a bewildered tone, "Are you asking for a divorce?"<br /> "Yeah."<br /> His voice was incredibly soft.<br /> Clutching the report, Madeline was about to ask if there was room for negotiation.<br /> If she told him she was pregnant, would he reconsider?<br /> Before she could voice her thoughts, Jeremy spoke, "Joanna is back. I want to end our marriage earlier. We originally agreed on a three-year duration, but let's end it now. I know it's abrupt for you. Check the agreement. If you have any requests, I'll fulfill them as long as they're reasonable enough."<br /> With a blank mind, Madeline responded, "Okay, I'll read it later."<br /> She slid her hand behind her back, tightly clenching the report as sweat formed on her palms.<br /> She realized there was no need to share the news with him anymore.<br /> "There's also a favor I'd like to ask from you," Jeremy said.<br /> Madeline tightened her grip on her hands, making a conscious effort to raise her head and smile at him. "Sure, go ahead. I'll help in any way I can."<br /> "I'm afraid you have to bring up the divorce to my grandfather. If I bring it up, he won't agree."<br /> "Okay, I understand."<br /> Being an orphan, Madeline was never considered a suitable match for Jeremy.<br /> Their marriage had been decided by Jeremy's grandfather, Charles Whitman after she had saved him from an accident.<br /> Before they got married, Jeremy had made it clear. "I can marry you, but my heart belongs to someone else. Our marriage is restricted to three years. After that, it's your responsibility to propose the divorce to my grandfather, and we'll part ways."<br /> She suppressed the bitterness, concealing any traces of affection in her heart.<br /> With a light tone, she responded, "I know. I also have someone in my heart. When the contract expires, I'll honor the promise and leave you."<br /> After getting married, Jeremy made every effort to be a perfect husband.<br /> He respected her, indulged her, protected her, and treated her with the utmost care.<br /> To their friends, she was the apple of Jeremy's eye. Jeremy would never do anything to upset her or allow anyone to upset her. Everyone admired her luck to have such an amazing husband.<br /> Yet, only Madeline knew their marriage was devoid of love; it was simply a contractual arrangement.<br /> All the care Jeremy gave her had nothing to do with love; it was merely a responsibility. The only part he was obsessed with was her flesh, which he loved to hell.<br /> They had agreed to keep their marriage for only three years in the first place, and now the woman who held a special place in his heart had returned. It was time for Madeline to quit.<br /> Bending down, Madeline picked up the divorce agreement from the table.<br /> She had lost her appetite. As she was about to return to the bedroom, Jeremy, looking somewhat troubled, suddenly adjusted his tie, calling out to her.<br /> "When you bring it up to my grandfather, he will surely ask for the reason. Didn't you mention having someone you like for many years? Now that I'm setting you free, you can find him and pursue your happiness. Even if Grandpa disagrees, he won't be able to reject it outright."<br /> Madeline nodded. "I see. I'll tell him like that."<br /> After saying this, she couldn't wait to leave. If she stayed any longer, she feared she might regret it and tell Jeremy that she didn't want a divorce.<br /> Jeremy suddenly reached out, and Madeline, fearing he might discover what she held in her hand, instinctively pulled away.<br /> Jeremy became even more concerned, firmly holding her hand. "You look pale. Are you not feeling well?"<br /> "No." Madeline quickly freed her hand.<br /> "We've been living together for two years; do you think I can't tell when you're lying?" Jeremy's eyes grew deep.<br /> Having no intention to keep the stalemate, Madeline replied, "Nothing serious, just that time of the month."<br /> "Have some rest, then."<br /> After saying that, Jeremy suddenly caught sight of her tightly clenched right hand. He asked in a hushed tone, "What are you holding? You're gripping it so tightly."<br /> Madeline promptly tossed the report into the trash bin, managing a forced smile. "Just trash. I've been holding onto it and forgot to throw it away."<br /> He wouldn't understand the pain that weighed on her heart.<br /> Seeing her weak and unsteady figure, Jeremy lifted her into his arms without a second thought.<br /> Madeline was taken aback and quickly protested. "Let me go; I can make it back on my own."<br /> "You're so weak. Don't push yourself too hard."<br /> Jeremy's voice, gentle and seductive, resonated in her ears.<br /> It was the same voice she had listened to and enjoyed for two years, but now that voice was telling her he was abruptly leaving her.<br /> Madeline blinked, unable to hold back the tears.<br /> Jeremy teased her. "Crying because of your period. Seriously? There, there. I'll get a doctor to check on you later."<br /> "I'm not crying," Madeline stubbornly retorted.<br /> Jeremy had no idea why she was crying.<br /> "Alright, you aren't." Jeremy compromised.<br /> "Can you tell me who he is?" He suddenly asked.<br /> Madeline was puzzled. "Who?"<br /> "The man you say you've loved for years. I'm curious who is so lucky," Jeremy replied.<br /> Madeline felt a subtle ache in her chest.<br /> She clenched her hands and calmly said, "It's better left unsaid. He's already found someone he loves, and he's about to remarry soon."<br /> "Remarry? He's been married before?"<br /> Jeremy's surprise was evident.<br /> They had been together for two years, yet he lost to a divorced man? He was pretty surprised.<br /> Madeline gave a gentle nod. "Uh-huh. He succumbed to his family's pressure and married someone he didn't love before. Now that the girl he loves is back, they're about to embark on a new life."<br /> After hearing this, Jeremy felt a surge of indignation.<br /> "He's quite despicable, hurting two girls at the same time. You deserve someone better. If you meet someone more suitable, just forget this guy."<br /> Madeline agreed with a nod. "I feel the same way."<br /> "Jeremy, I've loved you for ten years, do you know? The person I love is no one but you, and it has always been you," Madeline clenched her hands tighter, silently repeating it in her heart over and over.<br /> Jeremy's brows tightly furrowed.<br /> He looked at Madeline as if he was contemplating something.<br /> "Madeline," he called her all of a sudden.<br /> "Yeah?"<br /> "Never mind."<br /> Jeremy shook his head.<br /> He was annoyed by his own thoughts.<br /> For a fleeting moment, he inexplicably felt a connection when Madeline talked about that person as if it resembled him.<br /> However, he instantly dismissed the notion.<br /> He recalled Madeline mentioned that she had been in love with that man for eight years when they got married.<br /> Yet, at that time, they had only known each other for four years.<br /> Thus, he ruled himself out.<br /> After Jeremy departed, Madeline hastily retrieved the report from the trash bin.<br /> She smoothed it on the table, carefully putting it away.<br /> The discomfort in her body intensified; every breath seemed to be painful. She lay on the bed, slipping into a deep slumber until a phone call woke her up.<br /> "Hello?" Still half-asleep, Madeline's voice sounded nasal, soft, and unintentionally endearing.<br /> "Still sleeping?" Jeremy's voice came through, as gentle as ever.<br /> "Yeah, just woke up."<br /> "It's almost noon; remember to have lunch. By the way, my assistant is on his way to deliver you the gift."<br /> "What gift?" After a nap, Madeline deliberately erased many things from her memories.<br /> "Gift for our second anniversary. Before our divorce is finalized, I'll still remember my responsibilities and play the role of a husband. I won't have you be jealous of any other women."<br /> Look, what a satisfying husband this man is.<br /> He was always so tender and considerate, seemingly impeccable.<br /> The only flaw she could pick about him was that he didn't love her.<br /> Jeremy's voice pulled her distracting mind back. "I wanna say sorry. There was a bit of an accident, so I've replaced the gift with another one."<br /> "No worries." Madeline nodded, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn't quite express.<br /> They were on the brink of divorce. This anniversary gift seemed somewhat ironic.<br /> Hanging up the phone, Madeline had just gotten up and changed when Patrick Wardell arrived.<br /> He respectfully presented the gift to Madeline. "Madam, Mr. Whitman sent me to deliver this to you."<br /> "Thank you."<br /> The box was exquisitely wrapped. It must be from a high-end brand.<br /> Madeline knew it was no longer the gift she had initially anticipated, yet she still opened it.<br /> When she laid eyes on the ruby necklace and earrings, she smiled.<br /> Perhaps Jeremy was attempting to make amends.<br /> Unable to present her desired gift, he had invested in a valuable set of jewelry.<br /> Last month, they attended a jewelry auction together, and she took a liking for a pair of emerald earrings at first sight.<br /> Jeremy noticed that and said to her, "If you like them, I'll bid for them."<br /> "No, they're too precious."<br /> After all, they were in a contractual marriage, and she felt uneasy about Jeremy spending so much on her.<br /> "Our second anniversary is approaching. Consider this my gift to you. If you don't feel at ease to accept it, just give me something in return."<br /> Thus, she had expectations.<br /> Unexpectedly, he asked for a divorce, and even the pre-prepared gift had fallen through.<br /> It seemed like fate agreed that they weren't meant to be together and that it was time to part ways.<br /> As agreed, she had indeed put effort into preparing a gift for him. Sadly, he didn't want it.<br /> Madeline stopped Patrick. "I made this cake myself. Please bring it to him."<br /> Patrick hesitated for a moment, recalling Jeremy's words. "I don't like sweet things."<br /> Looking at Madeline, Patrick couldn't bear to lie.<br /> After much hesitation, he replied, "Mr. Whitman said he doesn't like sweet things. He knows you enjoy them and suggests you have more."<br /> Madeline clenched her fists, feeling almost unable to stand firm.<br /> After Patrick left, she carried the cake back to the bedroom.<br /> Her weak body leaned against the door, sliding down bit by bit. Tears streamed down her face, hitting the floor.<br /> Her heart hurt so much.<br /> She always knew that Jeremy didn't like cream or overly sweet cakes.<br /> Thus, she made this low-fat, low-sugar cake containing only a hint of the fragrance of milk.<br /> Without any cream but only the cake base, it was truly not sweet at all.<br /> But he didn't even want to give it a try.<br /> Madeline's tears dropped onto the cake, blurring the simple doodle of the parents and a kid on top. She took a bite of the cake.<br /> The cake she had put so much effort into making tasted bitter.<br /> Suddenly, her phone rang.<br /> It was Jeremy.<br /> Madeline answered the phone, "Hello."<br /> "Did you receive the gift? Do you like it?"<br /> "Yeah, I love it. Thank you."<br /> "You look good in red; it brings out your complexion." After a pause, Jeremy added, "I won't come home tonight."<br /> Suddenly, Joanna Bartley's soft voice sounded on the other side. "Jeremy, did you tell her? Come on, the candlelight dinner is..."<br /> "Take care of yourself." Jeremy uttered one last sentence and hastily hung up.<br /> "I will."<br /> Although he hung up very hastily, Madeline still heard Joanna's voice, clear as day.<br /> She heard the distinct words "candlelight dinner."<br /> On their anniversary, her husband was having a candlelight dinner with another woman. It felt bitterly ironic.<br /> Joanna had indeed come back!<br /> Although Madeline didn't want to believe it, this was the harsh reality. <br /> The fact instantly shattered her, leaving her defeated.<br /> Not just now, she completely lost to Joanna two years ago.<br /> How could she have expected Jeremy to choose her?<br /> Just because she was pregnant?<br /> At this moment, Madeline was grateful that she hadn't told him the truth. Otherwise, it would have been a self-inflicted humiliation.<br /> After shedding tears and releasing pent-up emotions, Madeline regained much of her composure.<br /> Given that he had made up his mind, she chose to accept it with equanimity.<br /> Following a shower, Madeline lay down on the bed, tossing and turning.<br /> Just as she was about to drift into sleep, she received a call from Jeremy's friend, Wayne Lawrence. "Jeremy is drunk and is causing a scene. Come and take him home."<br /> Madeline was perplexed. Wasn't he supposed to be spending the night with Joanna?<br /> Suppressing her discomfort, Madeline rose from the bed, changed into fresh clothes, and had the driver take her to the club that Jeremy frequented.<br /> She arrived at the club, only to find the private room surprisingly quiet.<br /> Jeremy was deeply intoxicated. With a neat suit and appearance as handsome as ever, he sprawled on the sofa, legs crossed.<br /> Madeline had to admit that Jeremy was indeed one of the most delicate works of the Creator. Even when he was thoroughly intoxicated, he maintained a decent manner.<br /> As Madeline approached him, a wave of nausea hit her, and she couldn't help but feel the urge to vomit.<br /> Perhaps it was a symptom of the first trimester.<br /> Having finally composed herself, she turned to Wayne and asked, "How did he get so drunk? Wasn't he with Joanna?"<br /> "Oh, you know that?" Wayne looked at her, his sarcasm undisguised. "Your husband is spending the night with another woman, and you have no objection?"<br /> Madeline tightly clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and then slowly released them.<br /> She responded in a calm tone, "We've already agreed on a divorce. We just haven't got the legal papers, but he's already free. I don't have the right to restrain him anymore."<br /> Wayne looked at her with a sneer. "You're kinda open-minded."<br /> After a pause, he continued to say, "Madeline, do you have any conscience? How has Jeremy treated you all these years? He gave you meticulous care and did everything a husband is supposed to do. He asked for a divorce, but why didn't you even try to stop him?"<br /> Madeline, somewhat bewildered, looked at him. "I remember you strongly opposed him to marry me back then. Now that we're about to divorce, shouldn't you be the biggest supporter? Why are you more indignant than me?"<br /> "I didn't like you in the beginning, but since you got married, you should have cherished it. Moreover..."<br /> He paused, suggesting meaningfully, "You are more suitable for him than Joanna."<br /> Madeline called the driver. With his help, they managed to get Jeremy into the car.<br /> After arriving home, getting Jeremy upstairs, and running a bath, she emerged from the bathroom to find Jeremy already asleep on the floor.<br /> Madeline suddenly chuckled. It turned out Jeremy didn't always maintain his decency and gentleness.<br /> She squatted down and poked him, saying, "Hey, bath time."<br /> A few seconds later, she urged, "Hurry, or I'll just leave you here!"<br /> Still, Jeremy gave no response.<br /> Madeline sighed, realizing she had to help him undress.<br /> Then, she assisted him to the bathroom for a bath.<br /> The shower gel had a rich milky scent, a fragrance she personally selected and quite enjoyed.<br /> However, she choked and vomited several times while bathing him.<br /> After finally finishing his bath and getting him into bed, Madeline thought she could take a break.<br /> However, Jeremy suddenly turned around, his hands holding her waist, and murmured, "Don't go. Stay with me!"<br /> A warm feeling surged in Madeline's chest, and her heart uncontrollably raced.<br /> It felt like the first time she encountered him. Her heart was almost thumping out of her throat, while her mind was filled with a sweet and warm feeling.<br /> Usually, he was labeled as decisive, calm, and refined. Madeline had never seen him talking to her like this before.<br /> Her heart softened, and she couldn't bear to push him away.<br /> Fine, it was their last night together.<br /> After the divorce, they wouldn't share a bed again.<br /> She wanted to keep some last memory.<br /> "Okay," replied Madeline in a mild tone.<br /> She then laid down beside him and covered both of them with a blanket.<br /> Before sleeping, her fingers lightly traced over his eyebrows, his nose, and his lips.<br /> Finally, they rested on his hand, interlocking with his fingers tighter than ever.<br /> These were things she dared to do only when he was deeply asleep.<br /> The next morning, Madeline was awakened by the vibration of the phone.<br /> Still a bit sleepy, she picked up the phone and placed it near her ear, saying, "Hello."<br /> <br /> 👇👇👇<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open Dreame to continue reading"Billionaire's Secret Wife"<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book)	DOWNLOAD	https://m.suenovela.fun/novel/1628855040?product=1	192144063986866	Dreame Great Stories	https://facebook.com/61554881265921	16	1	1,673,562,836,718,018	2024-03-29 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	1	Download	Dreame Great Stories	120211383058090370	suenovela.onelink.me	NONE	image		https://m.suenovela.fun/novel/1628855040?product=13&auto_jump=true&utm_source=facebook_ads&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&af_prt=changxiaoagency&af_c_id={{campaign.id}}&af_adset_id={{adset.id}}&af_ad_id={{ad.id}}		2024-03-28 03:23	https://scontent-den2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434294740_1496749021191366_216275966992230056_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=pAEEAWJMTzUAX9S40NP&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.xx&oh=00_AfAF4lP4-g7zimgiETpNOqLqJLWS6wq6FCJMfwMEQ0xSdQ&oe=660F8BC1	person_profile	0	Dreame Great Stories	https://scontent-den2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/433105335_378690344978752_6193961609094307960_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=X3Bm4mFTJAoAX-61HwX&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.xx&oh=00_AfDl-JwByOReXlmlKWBzhoPXVajRu321ev6TK9o31weu-Q&oe=660FACEB	3	Dreame Great Stories	2024-03-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, He was framed for taking some kind of drug without his knowledge. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to spend a night with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He did it with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	LEARN_MORE	https://website.literiess.com/share/middle/mdro2et	220596417796944	Literie-Endless Stories Await	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	664	1	810,318,161,127,811	2024-03-30 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	1	Learn more	Literie-Endless Stories Await	120208129227320694	website.literiess.com	NONE	image	Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers!

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, He was framed for taking some kind of drug without his knowledge. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to spend a night with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He did it with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years!

"Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again.

One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	LEARN_MORE	https://website.literiess.com/share/middle/mdro2et	220596417796944	Literie-Endless Stories Await	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	664	1	307,724,705,429,010	2024-03-30 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	1	Learn more	Literie-Endless Stories Await	120208129229520694	website.literiess.com	NONE	image	Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years. <br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to continue reading 📜The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife📜<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app)	LEARN_MORE	https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/jjbk3kgenzohq	101489936134366	OasisStory	https://facebook.com/100087803393468	14,835	1	1,363,065,407,732,120	2024-03-30 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	0	1	Learn more	OasisStory	120209731071980667	www.yumread.com	NONE	video		https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/jjbk3kgenzohqtuqafjg0urs?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120209730967610667&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}}		2024-03-29 23:05	https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/433120097_1795407234262363_5169047227995062_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=mZtEgRovkE4AX-n1X_D&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&oh=00_AfC7mAYyBs6vcyOu4_GCvxw81wUljQpJDs2F55oX-kh6eA&oe=660F9630	person_profile	0	OasisStory	https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/433182662_952156166380092_9196295402510055015_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=0Ql6YmrugnYAX8EN6F6&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAHGJH3L0rl7E57RrUMUbvuNb1lezkhvZ-UGEf5ZoF5zg&oe=660FB837	3	OasisStory	2024-03-30 02:00	View Edit Delete

As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, He was framed for taking some kind of drug without his knowledge. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for what she did.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who framed him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to spend a night with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He did it with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna unconcious. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She stole her brother-in-law from her sister six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------<br /> 👇There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open App to continue reading🔞The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife🔞 (It will automatically jump to the book)	LEARN_MORE	https://website.literiess.com/share/middle/mdro2et	220596417796944	Literie-Endless Stories Await	https://facebook.com/61555405706192	664	1	1,007,427,390,784,446	2024-03-30 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	1	Learn more	Literie-Endless Stories Await	120208129227380694	website.literiess.com	NONE	image	Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers!

A surprised voice came from the other end of the line.<br /> It was Joanna's voice.<br /> Only then did Madeline realize that she had picked up Jeremy's phone.<br /> She was startled and immediately sat up.<br /> Casting a quick glance at the screen, she handed the phone to Jeremy. "Joanna is calling you."<br /> Jeremy took the phone, walked to the window, and engaged in a conversation for a few minutes.<br /> Although Madeline couldn't hear the details, she noticed his expressions alternating from a frown to relaxation.<br /> After hanging up, Jeremy walked back to the bed.<br /> Madeline looked at him somewhat apologetically. "I picked up the wrong call. Did she misunderstand something?"<br /> "I've explained it."<br /> Pausing for a moment, Jeremy looked at Madeline. "As a couple, waking up together in the same bed is a normal thing."<br /> "Okay," Madeline said with a nod.<br /> As she was about to get up, Jeremy suddenly approached her face. "What happened to your face?"<br /> Madeline checked herself in the mirror. It turned out her face was covered in red rashes, and there were quite a few on her legs, arms, and all over.<br /> She guessed it was caused by the cake she had yesterday because she was allergic to eggs. She harbored the hope that she wouldn't be allergic by taking just a bite, yet reality caught up with her.<br /> Anything related to Jeremy, Madeline always harbored some hope, and the marriage was no different. However, reality always forced her to face the truth.<br /> "Just a bit of an allergy. I've taken medicine. It will go away in a few days," Madeline explained.<br /> "Are you really okay?" Jeremy asked.<br /> "Yeah. It won't affect our meeting with Grandpa. You can rest assured. Wait for me. I'll finish my makeup and get changed. Then we can go together to discuss the divorce with Grandpa."<br /> She knew he was eager for her to initiate the divorce, and there was no room for negotiation.<br /> Since he had made up his mind, she wouldn't seek his sympathy.<br /> Eliciting sympathy was not her style, and her self-esteem wouldn't allow it to happen.<br /> "We're not going to Grandpa's. I'll take you to the hospital to check your face," Jeremy said.<br /> Madeline was surprised. "Has Grandpa agreed?"<br /> Jeremy shook his head and then explained, "There's a change of plan. Grandpa is not in good health. He has brought his 80th birthday party forward, scheduled for a week from now. Grandpa always likes you. If we bring up the divorce now, he can't enjoy his birthday party. Let's tell him after the party."<br /> "Okay." Madeline nodded. "Grandpa treats me the best among the whole family. I don't want him to be affected by our divorce."<br /> "Sounds like you're accusing me of not treating you well," Jeremy teased.<br /> Madeline didn't know how to reply.<br /> After her mother passed away, Charles brought her back and provided her with a warm and happy home. He also took care of her and supported her education.<br /> Without Charles, she couldn't imagine how she could have spent these years.<br /> "Don't worry. Once Grandpa's birthday is over, I will bring it up to him. It won't delay you," She said.<br /> Madeline didn't want Jeremy to misunderstand her that she would use Charles' birthday to delay the process.<br /> "You seem more eager to get a divorce than me. Are you so impatient to start a new life with your old flame?" Jeremy asked.<br /> He rubbed his temples, feeling oddly annoyed for some reason.<br /> After breakfast, Madeline, defeated by Jeremy's insistence, was taken to the hospital.<br /> Inside the doctor's office, Madeline sat on a chair, and Jeremy stood beside her.<br /> She felt a bit nervous, as she hadn't expected Jeremy to accompany her all the way.<br /> "Do you know what you are allergic to?"<br /> "Yes."<br /> "Then why did you still eat the cake made from eggs and make yourself suffer? Have you taken any medication?"<br /> Madeline shook her head, feeling embarrassed. "Nope."<br /> "I'll prescribe some medication for you. Take them when you get back. If the symptoms persist, come back for injections immediately."<br /> Madeline placed her hand on her abdomen, feeling hesitant and concerned about the possible impact of the oral medication on her baby.<br /> With Jeremy standing nearby, she couldn't ask the doctor directly.<br /> Just when she was extremely anxious, Jeremy's phone rang, and he stepped outside to take the call.<br /> Feeling relieved, Madeline turned to the doctor. "Doc, I'm pregnant. Is it safe to take these medications?"<br /> "You should have told me in the very beginning. I'll replace them with topical medications," the doctor replied.<br /> "Thank you, doc."<br /> After leaving the doctor's office, Jeremy's demeanor changed drastically.<br /> The warmth that was there before disappeared, replaced by an icy coldness.<br /> Suppressing his emotions throughout the way, he finally couldn't hold back any longer when they reached the pharmacy. "You've gotten quite skilled at lying, huh?"<br /> Madeline knew he was referring to her lie about having taken medication.<br /> She lowered her head, feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you."<br /> "Then why did you? Are you hiding anything?"<br /> Madeline remained silent, finding him to be somewhat aggressive.<br /> "We're getting divorced soon, and I don't want to trouble you further. I have been troublesome enough for you over the past two years," she explained.<br /> "Thought you didn't realize you're troublesome," Jeremy said without much patience.<br /> Madeline blushed and felt a twinge in her heart. Turned out he indeed thought of her as a burden.<br /> The next moment, Jeremy's voice softened.<br /> "I've gotten used to it. This additional trouble doesn't matter much."<br /> Getting the medication, Jeremy suddenly asked while reading the instructions, "I remember the doctor prescribed oral medications. Why did it change to topical ones now?"<br /> Madeline was stunned.<br /> Being overly attentive and discerning wasn't always a good thing.<br /> "Topical medication is fine too!" Madeline remarked.<br /> "Your allergy is severe. You need to suppress it as soon as possible. Oral medications work better. Besides, Grandpa's birthday party is approaching. If those red rashes on your skin haven't cleared up by then, he might think I've mistreated you."<br /> "I'll explain it to him. Trust me; it won't take that long." Madeline earnestly reassured him.<br /> However, Jeremy didn't compromise.<br /> "No, I'll switch it back to oral medications. I don't want you to come back for injections if the topical treatment isn't effective," he stated.<br /> He headed toward the doctor's office, intending to get the prescription changed again.<br /> Madeline took a sigh and hurriedly stopped him. "Hey, wait, um... I asked the doctor to change it. I've been having some stomach issues these days, and oral medication isn't suitable for people with an upset stomach."<br /> She paused and then added, "Topical treatment might be slower, but it's safer, right?"<br /> The reason finally convinced Jeremy, and he halted his steps.<br /> In the car, Madeline applied the medicine to her face, legs, and arms.<br /> However, she couldn't reach the back of her neck. Just as she struggled with this, Jeremy took the initiative to ask, "Are you sure you don't want my help?"<br /> He always seemed to read people's minds, as if everything was within his control.<br /> "Well, here you go!" Madeline handed the bottle to him.<br /> Jeremy suddenly frowned. "Is this the right attitude to ask me for help?"<br /> Madeline bit her lip, determined to show him a different side. <br /> Blinking her eyes, she pleaded with an extremely sweet and stagy voice, "Honey, pretty please! I can't reach my neck. Can you help me, please?"<br /> "Madeline... I didn't mean this tone..."<br /> Jeremy's words were cut short by a sudden braking.<br /> Madeline was thrown into Jeremy's arms, which startled her.<br /> Fortunately, Jeremy shielded her head with his hand. Otherwise, she might have suffered a severe injury.<br /> The driver kept apologizing. "I'm sorry, Mr. Whitman."<br /> "Focus on driving."<br /> Jeremy then turned to look at Madeline. "That's not what I meant."<br /> "But honey, you said my attitude wasn't right. Don't you like this attitude?"<br /> Madeline continued with her stagy and soft voice.<br /> In their two-year marriage, this was the first time she had talked to Jeremy this way.<br /> In the past, she was afraid he wouldn't like it, so she never showed any excessive emotions before him.<br /> Now, considering they were getting divorced anyway, she turned emboldened.<br /> Anyway, this was the last time.<br /> "Sit properly," Jeremy instructed Madeline.<br /> She immediately sat upright.<br /> "No more this from now on," he added.<br /> "Okay..."<br /> Jeremy seemed dissatisfied with Madeline's response. "Oh? Did you hear me or not?"<br /> "I heard you."<br /> "Then make sure you remember it," Jeremy emphasized.<br /> "Also, you especially can't talk to other men like this," Jeremy added.<br /> Jeremy, What are you doing? <br /> Are you out of your mind? You two are getting divorced soon. She can talk to any man any way she wants. <br /> Why do you think you have the right to control her?<br /> Suddenly, realization dawned upon Jeremy, and he cursed himself inwardly.<br /> He found himself absurd.<br /> Annoyed, he loosened his tie, and finally, he felt a bit more at ease with his breath.<br /> While applying the medicine to Madeline, Jeremy was gentle and delicate.<br /> His fingertips lightly caressed Madeline's nape, creating an itching sensation.<br /> His scorching breath on her earlobe evoked an irresistible flutter within her heart.<br /> Madeline couldn't help but shudder, and Jeremy's fingers followed a tremble.<br /> His deep eyes revealed emotions that were hard to discern.<br /> Finally, Jeremy finished applying, and Madeline sighed with relief.<br /> At a traffic light, Jeremy suddenly said to the driver, "Turn left. Go to the mall."<br /> Madeline asked, "Aren't you going to the company?"<br /> "Grandpa's birthday is brought forward. We haven't prepared a gift yet."<br /> Madeline immediately nodded. "I'll go with you."<br /> Thus, they went directly to the jewelry section.<br /> Just as they arrived at the store, a soft voice reached them. "Jeremy!"<br /> Madeline turned around and was almost petrified by the scene before her. In fact, she wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.<br /> It was Joanna, sitting in a wheelchair.<br /> How could it be?<br /> Madeline remembered Joanna was a dancer, and she had never heard anyone say that Joanna had leg problems.<br /> She was utterly shocked and stood there in a daze for a long time.<br /> She didn't come back to her senses until she heard Jeremy's voice. "Why are you here? The AC in the mall is strong. Don't catch a cold."<br /> While talking, he had already taken off his coat and draped it over Joanna.<br /> Joanna looked at Madeline with a bit of embarrassment. "I'm not cold. He's always too worried about me, afraid I might catch a cold."<br /> This statement was clearly intended for Madeline's ears.<br /> Madeline lowered her head, saying no word.<br /> Joanna then looked at Jeremy. "I heard your grandpa's birthday party is brought forward. I want to pick a gift for him. Since you're here, can you help me choose one?"<br /> "Sure!"<br /> Joanna immediately revealed a joyful smile, gentle and bright.<br /> "Narra, could you bring me my water?"<br /> Narra Santos said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. The water in the thermos is finished. I'll have someone bring a bottle for you."<br /> Jeremy immediately interjected, "How long would you have her wait? I'll go get it."<br /> Then, he looked at Madeline and said, "I'll be right back."<br /> "Okay." Madeline nodded.<br /> After Jeremy left, Joanna sent Narra away.<br /> Clearly, Joanna expected a private conversation with Madeline.<br /> Madeline moved her lips, about to speak, while Joanna beat her to it. "Look, he's overly cautious. Anything related to me, no matter how trivial, he insists on personally taking care of it. I told him to leave these things to my assistant, but he said he can't trust anyone else."<br /> Although Madeline wasn't interested in their lovey-dovey exchanges, these words managed to infiltrate her mind.<br /> Jeremy was indeed very attentive.<br /> In their two-year marriage, he never missed any of her birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays.<br /> However, he always left them to Patrick. Jeremy never personally took care of anything.<br /> Yet for Joanna, even a simple task like bringing her some water, he insisted on doing it himself.<br /> In comparison to Joanna, Madeline felt like a joke.<br /> She suffered a crushing defeat.<br /> After a moment of silence, Joanna broke the ice. "Care to talk?"<br /> "Yeah." Madeline nodded.<br /> Observing Madeline's gaze on her legs, Joanna said, "It seems you really don't know."<br /> Shaking her head, Madeline responded, "I've never heard about it. What happened to your legs? Jeremy didn't tell me."<br /> "Of course, he didn't." Joanna's tone suddenly intensified.<br /> Perhaps realizing this, she took a deep breath and immediately composed herself. "Sorry, I got a bit carried away. Not only Jeremy, but the entire Whitman family probably wouldn't dare to tell you."<br /> "Why?"<br /> "Jeremy's grandpa is the absolute authority in their family. Who dares to defy his direct order?"<br /> Seeing Madeline's confusion, Joanna continued to say, "The Whitman family has protected you too well, especially Jeremy's grandpa. Madeline, even though you are a nobody, you are incredibly lucky.<br /> Jeremy's grandpa treats you like his own granddaughter, why? Just because your mother saved their lives? Sometimes, I even wonder, if my mother had been the one to save them, would things between Jeremy and I be different? Would I have been able to marry him as I wished?"<br /> Madeline had a bad premonition.<br /> For some reason, she felt that something she didn't know was gradually unraveling.<br /> "What do you mean by that?"<br /> Madeline's breath became somewhat rapid.<br /> "Back then, Jeremy's grandpa was determined to match you and Jeremy. He wanted Jeremy to marry you. But Jeremy never agreed. Neither of them compromised. However, Jeremy was young, and all the power in the Whitman family was gripped in his grandpa's hands. He used various methods to pressure Jeremy, and in the end, Jeremy submitted."<br /> "No, you're lying."<br /> Suddenly, Madeline started retaliating like an agitated wild cat.<br /> She couldn't accept that her marriage was the result of behind-the-scenes pressure.<br /> Joanna chuckled. "I'm telling you the truth. Jeremy married you only to protect me."<br /> "What did you say?"<br /> Madeline couldn't believe it. The harsh news sent an uncontrollable shudder into her body.<br /> She felt as if falling into an ice cellar, a chill creeping up from the soles of her feet, gnawing every inch of her skin.<br /> Everyone had told her that Jeremy had married her out of his free will.<br /> She had personally asked Jeremy, "Did you marry me because you want? I don't wish you to marry me just because of your grandpa's command. Neither do I want to put you in a difficult position."<br /> How did Jeremy respond?<br /> He said, "Yes. Joanna and I have broken up. Let's make an agreement with a three-year limit. I'll make an effort to develop feelings for you. If, after three years, I still haven't fallen in love with you, we'll proceed with an amicable divorce. Do you agree?"<br /> "Of course!" She smiled brighter than ever.<br /> Jeremy had also asked her, "Why did you agree to marry me? Don't you have someone you love? Being bound by marriage is acceptable for you? Don't you want to pursue your own love?"<br /> "I do. I've been in love with him for eight years." She shook her head and added, "But that has ended."<br /> Because she had become his wife. They skipped love but directly owned the marriage, which completed a significant step in her life.<br /> But now, Joanna told her that all of it was a lie.<br /> Were all those days and nights they spent together just his act?<br /> Every moment of their intimacy, every tender embrace on those nights, were they all fake?<br /> Was there nothing genuine at all?<br /> Madeline felt a bitter heartache as if she were a clown.<br /> She actually allowed herself to be manipulated by Jeremy's intricate schemes over and over again.<br /> "I don't believe it unless you tell me how his grandfather forced him."<br /> Madeline clenched her fists. After spending considerable time together, she knew Jeremy so well.<br /> If it weren't for extremely important leverage, given his temperament, he wouldn't succumb even if he was held at gunpoint.<br /> Joanna's smirked face revealed a hint of mockery.<br /> "Why can't you spare yourself from this? Well, then. I can tell you. His grandpa threatened him. If he didn't marry you, his grandpa would send me abroad. We wouldn't be able to see each other in this lifetime. Although we couldn't be together, he compromised for the chance to meet me again."<br /> Madeline bit her lips, feeling incredibly distressed.<br /> It was hard for her to say a word.<br /> Joanna continued her assault. "As for my legs, do you remember Jeremy received a call during your wedding ceremony and almost left on the spot?"<br /> "Yeah."<br /> Everything that happened at her wedding was still fresh in her mind.<br /> "It was because I got into a car accident on my way to your wedding. I nearly lost my life, and the doctors worked tirelessly for an entire day to barely save me. Unfortunately, my legs were left paralyzed."<br /> No wonder Jeremy rushed away immediately after the wedding.<br /> Madeline had asked him if something happened at the company.<br /> He said a friend had a car accident, and he wanted to take care of things. He even asked her help to cover it up since his grandfather prohibited him from going.<br /> Madeline remembered Charles had called her and asked if Jeremy was staying with her.<br /> But she didn't even suspect him and told Charles they were together.<br /> On their wedding night, he didn't return home.<br /> Little did she know he was with another woman that night.<br /> In the following days, he spent little time at home, looking exhausted.<br /> But he never told her that the friend he mentioned was Joanna.<br /> What if she had known it in the first place?<br /> Madeline forced a smile. Even if she had known it, she would probably still cover it up for him.<br /> She loved him too much. She couldn't bear to see his grandfather scold him.<br /> "So, why are you telling me all this now?"<br /> Madeline looked at Joanna. In an instant, she acted like a hedgehog on the defensive, with all her quills raised to shield her vulnerable core.<br /> "Tell me, am I the source of your disaster? Did I cause you to lose your legs?"<br /> "Madeline, ask yourself. Is it not you?" Joanna's voice became heated.<br /> "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had a car accident on my way to your wedding. My legs wouldn't have been paralyzed. If it weren't for you, I would have married Jeremy. We might have had children and lived happily together."<br /> Madeline struggled to maintain control.<br /> After a good while, she looked up and responded in a calm tone, "It's not because of me. You just found a convenient excuse and a scapegoat for your crippled legs.<br /> I'm indeed a nobody, but I'm no pushover. Don't try to pin everything on me.<br /> No one invited you to my wedding, and no one asked you to drive after drinking. The root cause of everything lies in your lack of self-respect."<br /> Madeline said firmly, word by word.<br /> Joanna stared at Madeline in disbelief.<br /> After two years, she couldn't believe how the once timid girl, who always hid behind Jeremy and was unconfident of even speaking loudly, had suddenly become so assertive.<br /> "Do you think I would be absent from the wedding of the person I love the most?"<br /> "Love the most?" Madeline sneered. "Joanna, just because Jeremy doesn't know what you've done doesn't mean I don't. Don't force me to get you exposed."<br /> "Nonsense! Don't you slander me!"<br /> In her excitement, Joanna stumbled and suddenly fell from her wheelchair.<br /> At that moment, Jeremy returned.<br /> He put down the thermos, gently helped Joanna up, and asked with a cold frown, "Can someone tell me what exactly happened?"<br /> <br /> 👇👇👇<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to open Dreame to continue reading"Billionaire's Secret Wife"<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book)	DOWNLOAD	https://m.suenovela.fun/novel/1628855040?product=1	192144063986866	Dreame Great Stories	https://facebook.com/61554881265921	16	1	1,389,041,901,971,682	2024-03-29 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	1	Download	Dreame Great Stories	120211383057830370	suenovela.onelink.me	NONE	image		https://m.suenovela.fun/novel/1628855040?product=13&auto_jump=true&utm_source=facebook_ads&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&af_prt=changxiaoagency&af_c_id={{campaign.id}}&af_adset_id={{adset.id}}&af_ad_id={{ad.id}}		2024-03-28 03:23	https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434191244_1058326545236138_123914610740316087_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=u9x0yLWGCHsAX96mDwZ&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AfA1OYlMfmYsN0PA_PnxGwjgu-rWvWxnKqVCRqltq78ckQ&oe=660FB4DE	person_profile	0	Dreame Great Stories	https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434675389_394986863401722_1105474065388399274_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=x8HJp6t7sV8AX-Az1XD&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAPjA7WQsg8i6SRu7AUlC2f_gOqnuZ4PQhQaW_395bZpA&oe=660F9AD5	3	Dreame Great Stories	2024-03-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

No se llevó nada más que sus documentos de identidad, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 100 millones de dólares.<br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no se había sabido nada de ella. Habían pasado cuatro años.<br /> Ella desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> Hasta que cuatro años después, Joanna volvió con sus hijos y otro hombre.<br /> Aunque estaban divorciados, Bruce seguía sintiéndose engañado e incluso traicionado....<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Era medianoche y las gotas de lluvia golpeaban fuertemente la ventana.<br /> <br /> Dentro de una casa, un hombre dijo con frialdad: "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio! Como compensación, te daré 100 millones de dólares en pensión alimenticia".<br /> <br /> "¿Hice algo malo otra vez, Braulio?" preguntó Jimena Herrera tímidamente. Ella siempre había sido simplemente una humilde sirvienta frente a él.<br /> <br /> "¡Rosa ha vuelto y no quiere verte! Es hora de que termine nuestro matrimonio. ¡Así que tienes que irte!" dijo Braulio Salaverry, cruzando sus largas piernas y recostándose en el sofá. Era tan guapo como una escultura griega clásica, pero la expresión de su rostro era tan fría como siempre.<br /> <br /> Los labios pálidos de Jimena temblaron como si hubiera caído al agua helada. Ella preguntó conmocionada: "¿Te estás divorciando de mí porque ella regresó? ¿Nuestro matrimonio no es más que una broma para ti, verdad?".<br /> <br /> "Tú no eras con quien quería casarme en primer lugar, y ahuyentaste a Rosa hace dos años con tus sucios trucos. Ahora que ella regresó, no cometeré el mismo error. ¡Date prisa y firma los papeles! Ochenta millones de dólares por dos años de tu patética vida. Deberías considerarlo una ganga". Braulio siempre había sido bueno para herirla con sus palabras.<br /> <br /> "Yo... ¿Qué pasará si no los firmo?" preguntó Jimena con un toque de amargura.<br /> <br /> "Como quieras. Tengo formas de hacerte desaparecer. Legalmente o no, nadie se dará cuenta".<br /> <br /> Como heredero de la familia más rica de ciudad Girona, Braulio siempre había sido capaz de hacer lo que quisiera. ¿Quién se atrevería a enfrentarse a él de todos modos?<br /> <br /> Hace dos años, la familia de Jimena decidió vincularse con los Salaverry por matrimonio.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, en el banquete de compromiso de Braulio y Rosa, estuvo presente la hermanastra Jimena, luego el hombre fue drogado. Más tarde en el salón, Braulio confundió a Jimena con Rosa, ¡y se acostaron juntos!<br /> <br /> Al día siguiente, el escándalo de la hija mayor del grupo Herrera liándose con su cuñado estaba en todos los periódicos.<br /> <br /> El estado mental de Rosa Herrera se quebró y fue enviada a un hogar de ancianos en el extranjero para recibir tratamiento.<br /> <br /> ¡Todos tomaron a Jimena como la rompehogares más desvergonzada, señalándola con el dedo por acostarse con su cuñado!<br /> <br /> Braulio la odió aún más y decidió que Jimena fue quien lo drogó y se metió en su cama.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, la familia Salaverry y la familia Herrera compartieron una amistad por generaciones. Además, este matrimonio estaba destinado a profundizar la conexión.<br /> <br /> De ahí que los mayores de ambas familias, Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, insistieran en que Braulio y Jimena se casaran.<br /> <br /> ¡Los últimos dos años de matrimonio habían sido un infierno para Jimena!<br /> <br /> Su tolerancia y cariño no lo hicieron mejor. A cambio, recibió más humillaciones y torturas. Jimena estaba agotada, tanto mental como físicamente.<br /> <br /> ¿Y qué si Braulio quería el divorcio? ¡Ya había tenido suficiente de todos modos!<br /> <br /> "Bien, los firmaré, pero tengo una solicitud".<br /> <br /> "¡Dila entonces!" ¡Braulio creía que Jimena estaba pensando en más dinero!<br /> <br /> Después de todo, eso era lo que a ella, una mujer intrigante, solo podía importarle.<br /> <br /> "Quiero que duermas conmigo como lo hace un verdadero amante por una única vez. Durante los últimos dos años, cada vez que has estado conmigo, has dicho el nombre de Rosa. Sí, me has hecho sentir que soy la peor mujer del mundo, ¡y ya he tenido suficiente! Soy tu esposa y quiero que digas mi nombre mientras duermes conmigo por última vez. ¡Soy Jimena, no Rosa!" ¡Por primera vez, Jimena estaba gritando histéricamente y temblando de ira!<br /> <br /> ¡Cada vez en los últimos dos años, Braulio gritaba deliberadamente el nombre equivocado! Tuvo relaciones con ella simplemente para castigarla y humillarla. ¡No había amor en eso en absoluto!<br /> <br /> "Oh, déjate de tonterías. Hay alguien esperándome abajo..."<br /> <br /> Jimena resopló con una risa burlona.<br /> <br /> ¡Entonces probablemente era Rosa quien lo estaba esperando!<br /> <br /> "Ella puede esperar un poco más. Ha estado esperando durante dos años, y creo que puede ser lo suficientemente paciente por unos minutos más. Haz lo que dije o no. Haz lo que quieras. ¡No me importa que los medios escriban historias sobre mí otra vez!"<br /> <br /> Braulio odiaba más que lo amenazaran. Sus delgados labios se curvaron en una mueca. Unos segundos después, respondió: "Está bien, lo haré. ¡Pero no te arrepientas, Jimena!".<br /> <br /> Braulio se sacudió para ponerse de pie, la agarró por la blusa y tiró de ella con violencia.<br /> <br /> Y luego...<br /> <br /> Sus medias estaban rotas...<br /> <br /> ¡El hombre ni siquiera le dio una advertencia antes de lastimarla!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah!" ¡Jimena gritó cerrando los ojos de dolor!<br /> <br /> Braulio estaba tan despiadado como siempre, casi cruel.<br /> <br /> Nunca le importó si la lastimaba o no. ¡O tal vez verla sufrir simplemente lo complacía!<br /> <br /> ¡Bien! ¡Muy bien!<br /> <br /> Ella recordaría esto, recordaría la crueldad del hombre hacia ella por el resto de su vida.<br /> <br /> "Jimena. Oh, Jimena. ¿Estás feliz ahora?"<br /> <br /> Finalmente la llamó por su nombre mientras estaba encima de ella.<br /> <br /> Aunque fue toda una humillación, finalmente pudo deshacerse de la depresión que la persiguió durante dos años completos.<br /> <br /> Jimena sintió que las lágrimas le corrían por las mejillas mientras decía con el corazón roto: "¡Braulio Salaverry! ¡Ya no te quiero!".<br /> <br /> Braulio había escuchado lo que ella dijo, pero optó por ignorarlo. ¡Él la tomó de la mandíbula con desdén, la miró a la cara y se burló!<br /> <br /> ¡Ella era... hermosa!<br /> <br /> Esta mujer tenía un rostro tan bonito e inocente, pero su mente estaba llena de suciedad y planes.<br /> <br /> Por eso su supuesto amor por él solo lo enfermaría.<br /> <br /> "¡Firme los papeles del divorcio, tome el dinero y váyase de Girona para siempre!"<br /> <br /> Dicho esto, Braulio se fue sin mirar atrás, dejándola tirada en el suelo hecha un desastre.<br /> <br /> Dos meses después...<br /> <br /> En un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Felicitaciones, Sra. Herrera, está embarazada de más de uno. ¡Pero le sugiero que renuncie a uno o dos de los fetos, o estará en demasiado riesgo!"<br /> <br /> ¿Renunciar?<br /> <br /> ¡No, ella no le quitaría el derecho a vivir a ninguno de sus hijos!<br /> <br /> ¡Eran sus bebés y solo de ella! De una forma u otra, iba a dar a luz y criarlos bien...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> ¡Cuatro años después!<br /> <br /> En la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital.<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, hicimos todo lo posible, pero Raimundo no mejora. ¡Deberías entrar y despedirte de él!"<br /> <br /> Sergio Herrera frunció el ceño preocupado y dijo: "Doctor, ¿podría intentar algo más? Si mi padre no puede hacerlo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera serán legadas al gobierno... oh, qué hacer... ninguno de nosotros ha visto a Jimena a lo largo de los años. Maldita sea, y mi padre también. No sabemos en qué estaba pensando. ¡Cómo podría ignorar a sus nietos que lo acompañan todos los días mientras solo cuidan a esa miserable hija mía!"<br /> <br /> Todos en la familia Herrera estaban miserables estos días.<br /> <br /> Raimundo, el padre de Sergio, redactó un extraño testamento en su lecho de muerte.<br /> <br /> Dejó el 51% del Grupo Herrera a su nieta mayor, Jimena. En cuanto a los demás miembros de la familia Herrera, heredarían solo el 10%.<br /> <br /> En otras palabras, Jimena se convertiría en la mayor accionista del Grupo Herrera.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, según la condición adicional al testamento, si Jimena no se presentaba antes de la muerte de Raimundo, todas las propiedades de la familia Herrera irían directamente al gobierno.<br /> <br /> Entonces, la familia Herrera había estado buscando a Jimena desesperadamente durante estos días.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ¡era como si Jimena hubiera desaparecido del mundo sin dejar rastro!<br /> <br /> Nadie supo de ella ni la vio ni una sola vez desde que ella y Braulio se divorciaron.<br /> <br /> "¡Tal como yo lo veo, esa chica simplemente va contra nosotros a propósito! ¡Nadie sabe dónde diablos ha estado durante todos esos años!"<br /> <br /> La segunda esposa de Sergio, Inés Herrera, estaba maldiciendo furiosamente y su rostro se torció un poco.<br /> <br /> En ese entonces, ella, con los mellizos en la barriga, echó de la familia a Jimena y a la madre de Jimena. Entonces Inés dio a luz a su tercer hijo, pensando que su posición en la familia estaba absolutamente asegurada.<br /> <br /> Nunca había esperado que al final no tendría nada.<br /> <br /> De los tres hijos suyos, el viejo todavía favorecía a esa chica Jimena.<br /> <br /> "¡Papá, mamá, el abuelo está despierto!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... mi Jimena..." Raimundo llevaba más de una docena de días en coma. Sus horas estaban contadas.<br /> <br /> Y antes de su muerte, su única preocupación era su nieta mayor, Jimena Herrera.<br /> <br /> Jimena llevaba cuatro años desaparecida y eso preocupaba mucho a Raimundo. Incluso sospechó que Inés podría haber asesinado de alguna manera a su amada nieta.<br /> <br /> "Papá, ¿Ricardo, Rubén y Rosa no son todos tus nietos? ¡Tu voluntad no es justa! ¡Básicamente no les dejas nada! ¡También podrían salir a la calle y mendigar para ganarse la vida si insistes en donar todo al gobierno!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena... Déjame ver a Jimena. No recibirás ni un centavo antes de eso..."<br /> <br /> Inés gritó en voz baja: "¡Han pasado cuatro años, Raimundo! ¿Quién sabe dónde se habrá ido? Además, si realmente te quiere, ¿cómo no va a aparecer sin verte al menos por última vez?".<br /> <br /> Un dejo de impaciencia cruzó los ojos de Rosa, y no pudo evitar preguntar: "Braulio, ¿sabes dónde ha estado mi hermana?".<br /> <br /> Braulio se quedó helado porque no sabía la respuesta a esta pregunta.<br /> <br /> Hace cuatro años, después de su divorcio, Braulio pensó que Jimena iba a seguir acosándolo o al menos ¡haría una escena!<br /> <br /> Inesperadamente, al día siguiente, Jimena se mudó. No se llevó nada más que sus identificaciones, ni siquiera la tarjeta bancaria que tenía 8 millones de dólares.<br /> <br /> Y en estos cuatro años, no había habido noticias de ella en absoluto. Eso sí, por muy orgulloso que estuviera Braulio, tampoco la contactó nunca.<br /> <br /> ¡Habían pasado cuatro años!<br /> <br /> ¡Aún así, Braulio no creía que ella lo dejaría ir tan fácilmente! Había preparado tantos planes para deshacerse de ella mientras ella apareciera. ¡Sin embargo, resultó que no necesitaba ninguno de ellos!<br /> <br /> Ella simplemente desapareció de su mundo por completo.<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena... Jimena!"<br /> <br /> "¡Oh, vamos, el abuelo se está muriendo! Ve a buscar a los médicos..."<br /> <br /> El monitor de ECG les dijo a todos que el corazón de Raimundo se estaba deteniendo. ¡Llorando, los miembros de su familia se reunieron alrededor de la cama!<br /> <br /> ¡Estaban llorando, no por la muerte cercana de Raimundo, sino por las propiedades que estaban a punto de ser donadas!<br /> <br /> Toc, toc, toc...<br /> <br /> ¡Desde el pasillo del hospital llegó el sonido de tacones altos!<br /> <br /> Crask.<br /> <br /> La puerta de la sala se abrió.<br /> <br /> ¡El que entró vestía un traje blanco hecho a la medida! ¡Un Hermes de edición limitada estaba en sus manos, y las gafas de sol de gran tamaño cubrían la mayor parte de su rostro! Sus esbeltas piernas eran lo suficientemente largas, ¡pero los zapatos de tacón alto las resaltaban aún más!<br /> <br /> Entró con una especie de vibra de belleza helada, ¡pareciendo hacer que la temperatura en la sala bajara un poco!<br /> <br /> "¿Quién es esta mujer? ¿La conocemos? ¿Quién le permitió estar aquí?"<br /> <br /> "Soy yo. ¡Estoy aquí para ver a mi abuelo!" ¡Jimena se quitó los lentes de sol lentamente y caminó hacia la cama!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena!" Todos los demás jadearon.<br /> <br /> ¡Había cambiado tanto!<br /> <br /> Su largo cabello negro que solía mantener lacio se había vuelto marrón rizado. Solía llegar a su cintura, pero ahora el final bailaba alrededor de su hombro. ¡Había cambiado por completo de la dulce chica a ser una mujer de carrera madura y sexy!<br /> <br /> Lo que fue aún más notable fue que Jimena parecía estar mucho más delgada que antes. ¡Medía 1.65 de alto pero parecía pesar apenas 45 kilos! Mientras tanto, la inocencia en ese par de ojos grandes también se había vaciado. ¡Simplemente mirándola a los ojos, uno podría decir que debe haber experimentado mucho en los últimos años!<br /> <br /> "¿Jimena? ¡Oh, finalmente, Jimena! La familia Herrera se hubiera arruinado si no apareces..."<br /> <br /> ¡Por primera vez, todos los miembros de la familia Herrera estaban tan contentos de ver a Jimena!<br /> <br /> "Lo siento, abuelo. ¡Lo siento, llegué tarde!"<br /> <br /> "Jimena", gritó Raimundo y apenas abrió los ojos, "Me alegro de que estés a salvo y con vida. Oh, finalmente puedo sentirme aliviado..."<br /> <br /> Con eso, Raimundo extendió la mano, pero al segundo siguiente, su mano volvió a caer débilmente sobre la cama, ¡su cabeza se inclinó y sus ojos se cerraron!<br /> <br /> ¡Bip!<br /> <br /> ¡El electrocardiograma sonaba anunciando la muerte de Raimundo!<br /> <br /> "¿Abuelo? ¡Abuelo!" gritó Jimena, con lágrimas rodando por sus mejillas.<br /> <br /> ¡Sabía que su abuelo era el único Herrera que se preocupaba por ella!<br /> <br /> "¡Ah, vamos, detén esas lágrimas falsas! ¡Habrías estado aquí hace mucho tiempo si alguna vez te hubieras preocupado por el abuelo! Ahora que es el momento de hablar sobre la herencia, ¿viniste?" dijo el hijo mayor de Sergio, Ricardo. El sarcasmo en su tono era obvio.<br /> <br /> Nunca había tomado a Jimena como su hermana mayor, y ahora que ella era la mayor beneficiaria del legado de Raimundo, ¡Ricardo odiaba a Jimena aún más!<br /> <br /> "Suficiente de eso. ¡Llama a alguien y organiza el funeral primero!" dijo Sergio. Razonablemente afligido mientras palmeaba a Jimena en el hombro. "¡Jimena, ahora que estás de vuelta, vuelve a casa!"<br /> <br /> Los labios de Inés se curvaron con desdén, pero decía alegremente: "¡Así es, ven a vivir con nosotros! Además, tu abuelo hizo un testamento en su lecho de muerte. ¡Quiere que heredes el 51% del Grupo Herrera! La enfermedad debe haber confundido su cerebro. ¿Cómo pudo dejarle una empresa tan grande a una chica que no sabe nada al respecto? Jimena, todavía eres joven y tonta. ¡Deja que tu padre siga dirigiendo el negocio!".<br /> <br /> Inés lo dijo como si Jimena estuviera destinada a seguir sus instrucciones. ¡En el fondo, Inés estaba convencida de que Jimena era tan tonta como la zorra de su madre!<br /> <br /> Para cuando Jimena regresara a su casa, ¡ella tendría el control total de Inés!<br /> <br /> Jimena estaba inexpresiva. Ella dijo con frialdad: "No quiero pensar en eso ahora. ¡Solo quiero cuidar al abuelo primero!"<br /> <br /> "Sí, sí, tienes razón en esto. El funeral de Raimundo es lo más importante ahora. ¡Todo lo demás se puede posponer!"<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Era tarde después de que la casa mortuoria recogiera el cuerpo de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> ¡Jimena salió del hospital con los demás!<br /> <br /> "¿Dónde vives? ¡Mi conductor te llevará!" Braulio dijo. ¡Su voz era un poco ronca porque Jimena no le había hablado una vez antes de esto!<br /> <br /> Jimena sonrió cortésmente y sacudió las llaves del auto en su mano. "¡Gracias, pero conduje hasta aquí!"<br /> <br /> La mirada indiferente en su rostro hacía que pareciera que simplemente estaba siendo educada con un completo extraño.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, Rosa entendió que Braulio coqueteaba con Jimena. Se le cayó la cara y, rápidamente, tomó cariñosamente el brazo de Braulio y le dijo: "Jimena, ¿por qué no te mudas de nuevo con nosotros? Al menos, no tienes que estar sola y...".<br /> <br /> "Es más fácil para mí quedarme en un hotel. ¡Adiós!" ¡Jimena saludó cortésmente y se dirigió al estacionamiento subterráneo!<br /> <br /> ¡Pronto, un Bentley plateado salió del estacionamiento y rugió frente a la multitud!<br /> <br /> "¡Parece que mi hermana ha estado viviendo una buena vida estos años! ¡Podría disfrutar de una vida tan rica sin la ayuda de la familia!"<br /> <br /> Braulio no respondió.<br /> <br /> Durante los cuatro años que estuvo fuera Jimena, por diversas razones, Braulio no se casó con Rosa. Además, con estos cuatro años, se dio cuenta de que Rosa simplemente no era la indicada para él.<br /> <br /> La única razón por la que no rompió con Rosa fue por su familia. La familia Herrera era rica, pero no era nada comparada con los Salaverry. Sin embargo, ¡los mayores de ambas familias eran amigos cercanos! ¡Por eso la familia Salaverry siempre había estado cuidando a la familia Herrera!<br /> <br /> Excepto por eso, había otra razón crucial. Hace diez años, Braulio casi se ahoga mientras nadaba, ¡y fue Rosa quien lo salvó! ¡Desde entonces, juró que amaría y protegería a esta chica por el resto de su vida!<br /> <br /> "¡Jimena siempre se ha esforzado desde que era una niña! ¡También es inteligente y buena con los hombres! ¿Ves su ropa elegante y su auto? ¡Debe haberse liado con algún tipo rico otra vez! A diferencia de ella, Rosa, siempre eres estúpida e inocente, ¡y la gente trata de aprovecharse de ti!" Inés parecía estar elogiando a Jimena, pero no era difícil reconocer lo que estaba insinuando.<br /> <br /> "Mamá, ¿de qué estás hablando?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, solo quiero que aprendas de Jimena. ¿Ves lo bien que lo ha estado haciendo? Las chicas como ella nunca deben preocuparnos por donde quiera que vaya. ¡Ya no hay muchas chicas tan inteligentes como ella!"<br /> <br /> Braulio de alguna manera estaba un poco molesto. "Inés, Rosa, debo irme ahora. Tengo una reunión importante esta noche".<br /> <br /> "Sí, seguro. Conduce con cuidado, ¿de acuerdo?" dijo Inés con una sonrisa halagadora, temerosa de ofender al futuro esposo de su hija!<br /> <br /> Braulio no dijo nada más, dio media vuelta y subió a un auto...<br /> <br /> Habiendo visto desaparecer el auto de Braulio, Rosa pateó con enojo. Ella se quejó: "¡Todo es tu culpa, mamá! ¡Nunca debiste haber puesto a esa zorra de Jimena en la cama de Braulio hace seis años! ¡Braulio nunca volvió a mencionar que se casaría conmigo! Y ahora que Jimena regresó, ¿qué vamos a hacer?".<br /> <br /> Inés apretó los dientes con mal humor. De lo que se quejaba su hija era de lo que más lamentaba Inés.<br /> <br /> Lo tenía todo bien diseñado hace seis años.<br /> <br /> Primero, hizo drogar a Jimena. Luego envió a la niña directamente a la habitación de Braulio, convencida de que Braulio estaba demasiado borracho para hacer algo.<br /> <br /> Luego de eso, Inés avisó a un grupo de paparazzis y les sugirió que escribieran un drama sobre cómo Jimena se arrojó a los brazos de su cuñado. Inés lo hizo porque esperaba que una vez que Jimena hubiera traído deshonra a la familia, la niña sería privada del derecho de herencia.<br /> <br /> Sin embargo, ella no esperaba que fuera contraproducente.<br /> <br /> Braulio en realidad se acostó con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Y luego las cosas se le escaparon de las manos. Bajo la presión de Raimundo Herrera y Margarita Salaverry, Braulio terminó casándose con Jimena.<br /> <br /> Pensando en esto, Inés dijo: "Lo hice por ti, tontita. ¡Maldita sea, todo por tu abuelo! ¡Ese viejo siempre ha favorecido a esa zorra de Jimena! ¡Pues ahora que el viejo está muerto, a ver quién le da la cara a la zorrita esta vez!"<br /> <br /> "Pero mamá..." Rosa seguía preocupada.<br /> <br /> Aunque Braulio había sido bueno con ella durante años, podía ver la frialdad en sus ojos.<br /> <br /> El hombre rara vez sonreía desde que se divorció de Jimena.<br /> <br /> Con los años, se había convertido totalmente en un adicto al trabajo. A veces Rosa tardaba tres o dos meses en verlo una vez.<br /> <br /> "No te preocupes. ¡Esa idiota de Jimena es tan estúpida como su madre muerta! Nos estamos peleando con ella ahora mismo. No hasta que renuncie a su parte de la herencia primero..."<br /> <br /> Diez días después, fue el funeral de Raimundo.<br /> <br /> Estaba lloviznando. Todos los miembros de la familia Herrera habían llegado al cementerio excepto Jimena. Además, la mejor gente de Girona también acudió a presentar sus respetos.<br /> <br /> Sin mencionar a los reporteros que se estaban reuniendo afuera del cementerio.<br /> <br /> Después de todo, Raimundo Herrera era todo un pez gordo en Girona. Entonces, por supuesto, su funeral estuvo bien enfocado.<br /> <br /> "Escuché que Raimundo quiso que la hija mayor de la familia Herrera heredara el Grupo Herrera".<br /> <br /> "Oh, Dios mío, esa chica es realmente astuta. Sedujo a su cuñado hace seis años y obligó a su hermana a irse. Luego se convirtió en la que se casó con la familia Salaverry en lugar de su hermana, y ahora es la directora del Grupo Herrera. ¡Eso es impresionante!"<br /> <br /> "¡Ja! ¿Y qué? Ella es solo una zorra intrigante. La familia Salaverry la echó, ¿no? ¡Una mujer así es simplemente repugnante!"<br /> <br /> Inés se llenó de alegría al escuchar los susurros de la multitud. Haciendo un gran esfuerzo por mantener la mirada triste en su rostro, dijo: "¿Me pueden prestar atención, por favor? En primer lugar, me gustaría agradecerles a todos por asistir al funeral de Raimundo y..."<br /> <br /> Un reportero interrumpió: "Señora Herrera, ¿es cierto que Jimena va a asumir como nueva líder al Grupo Herrera?".<br /> <br /> Inés hizo una pausa antes de responder: "No me van a molestar otras cosas en este día tan angustioso. Pero para una empresa tan grande como el Grupo Herrera, la palabra de un hombre por sí sola no puede surtir efecto. ¡Necesitamos una reunión de directorio para elegir al director ejecutivo adecuado!"<br /> <br /> "Señora Herrera, ¿por qué Jimena no está aquí en un día tan importante?"<br /> <br /> "Ja, esa es la pregunta que deberías hacerle a ella..."<br /> <br /> Mientras ella decía, afuera del cementerio de repente llegaron sonidos de motores.<br /> <br /> Un Rolls-Royce se abría paso hacia el cementerio, seguido por una flota de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> "Mira esa matrícula. ¡Parece ser el auto del Sr. García!" Los reporteros se emocionaron y corrieron hacia el Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Sí, ese Rolls-Royce pertenecía a Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Había dos jóvenes ricos muy conocidos en Girona. Uno de ellos era Braulio Salaverry y el otro era Jorge García.<br /> <br /> Era el segundo hijo del magnate de los casinos en ciudad Ventura y también dirigía una compañía de entretenimiento llamada Media Estrella. Varias nuevas estrellas principales en el mundo del espectáculo eran todos artistas bajo el control de su compañía.<br /> <br /> A diferencia de Braulio, que mantenía un perfil bajo, Jorge siempre había sido un hombre de publicidad.<br /> <br /> Las puertas del Rolls-Royce se abrieron lentamente y Jorge salió primero.<br /> <br /> "¡Vaya, es realmente el Sr. García!" La prensa se abalanzó como moscas que olían sangre.<br /> <br /> Después de que Jorge salió del auto, giró hacia el otro lado y ayudó a una mujer que estaba vestida de negro a salir del auto como un verdadero caballero.<br /> <br /> "¿Es esta...? ¡Vaya, es Jimena Herrera!"<br /> <br /> "Tienes que estar bromeando. ¿Qué está haciendo García con una mujer como ella?"<br /> <br /> Mientras todos estaban asombrados, uno por uno, salieron dos adorables niños vestidos con diminutos trajes negros.<br /> <br /> Los niños deberían tener entre 3 y 4 años.<br /> <br /> ¡Y era como una bomba, encendiendo el interés de todos!<br /> <br /> --------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> Hay capítulos limitados para poner aquí, haga clic en el botón de abajo para continuar leyendo 📜El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa📜<br /> <br /> (Se saltará automáticamente al libro cuando abra la aplicación)	LEARN_MORE	https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/htljx1qr0sfar	124627240725435	Lereader-Favorite novel	https://facebook.com/61550573436554	1,019	5	420,509,223,670,449	2024-03-27 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	0	1	Learn more	Lereader-Favorite novel	120210109647790655	www.yumread.com	NONE	video		https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/htljx1qr0sfargd0xk0k2wh5?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120210109642570655&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}}		2024-03-27 03:26	https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434054967_3637235223207313_5951242075737427619_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=hQgwVlOpsUkAX9i-1Ug&_nc_oc=AdhaRv4PtUSFUbA07PE_BrvAX6-9O3Lp9VEfZxZgPqqQ9zP5dbiaiPvlXqQJXx4UgLI&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AfBzK0gpP7No7HU8W4DTRezyk6TrlTnR_yt5QXT9oAq2Ng&oe=660F9F7B	person_profile	0	Lereader-Favorite novel	https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/434478602_228685333620636_6214602529376151160_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=NAu-f8M5UkgAX9O0BMl&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AfBubY4rbC5pn3D_Wq2nHidOZQeN38-CCZf5JdqgPm7_Fw&oe=660F8A77	3	Lereader-Favorite novel	2024-03-27 02:00	View Edit Delete
