Waking up from cryosleep was Joanna&#039;s least favorite activity--and this was only the second time she&#039;d done it.<br /> <br /> It felt like drowning at first. She was enveloped in a viscous liquid that pressed closer than her own skin. Her body seized as her vital functions reanimated: heartbeat, blood flow, lung contractions. Awareness returned in a rush, and she felt an overwhelming urge to claw her way to the surface and gasp for air, but she couldn&#039;t control her limbs yet. <br /> <br /> Instead she floated down, down, until her back touched something solid, and she settled slowly onto the bottom of the tank. She kept her eyes closed as the thick cryo liquid drained from her face, leaving behind a slimy residue, as though a snail had crawled all over her bare skin.<br /> <br /> The cryo machine beeped steadily by Joanna&#039;s right ear. Consciousness had shown up before her body was fully warm--unfortunately--so the next sound she heard was her own teeth chattering. The cold ebbed gradually, leaving her nauseous and trembling, suppressing the urge to vomit. A few of her teammates had thrown up in their tanks during their training runs, and she was determined not to emulate them, even as she became aware of a truly foul taste in her mouth.<br /> <br /> Joanna had only one opportunity to practice waking from cryosleep during her orientation. Then, she emerged from the slippery depths of stasis already looking forward to a hot meal and a stolen kiss from Garrett. Today&#039;s awakening wouldn&#039;t be quite as cozy. But after sleeping for over two hundred years, she was about to join Garrett and the others in the vital task of resettling the earth. She could handle a little discomfort.<br /> <br /> &quot;Remain still until program terminates.&quot;<br /> <br /> The disembodied voice startled her, and her limbs twitched, the cryo liquid sloshing around her. The machine continued to cycle through the countdown sequence.<br /> <br /> &quot;Cryo drain completes in thirty-two seconds.&quot;<br /> <br /> The recording sounded different from what she remembered. Slightly muffled and frantic. She hoped her hearing wasn&#039;t damaged. The human body wasn&#039;t designed to sleep for hundreds of years, and she expected some negative consequences. At least her heart was beating, an eager patter that got faster the longer she lay there in the receding puddle of goo.<br /> <br /> Her front half was free of the cryo liquid now. The sequence wasn&#039;t complete yet, but Joanna couldn&#039;t wait any longer. She opened her eyes.<br /> <br /> Red light bathed the stone ceiling above her, refracted through the clear lid of her tank.<br /> <br /> That was odd. The chamber had a distinct blue tint when she climbed into her tank what felt like the night before, and she remembered the ceiling being a lot higher. Something wasn&#039;t right. She blinked through the goo coating her lashes, but the red glare remained. She opened and closed her hands, trying to get the blood flowing through her body. She should be able to move more than this by now.<br /> <br /> The beeping by her ear became shrill, almost siren-like. Joanna drew a sharp breath, and a gurgling rattle made her jolt in surprise, banging her arms against the sides of the tank.<br /> <br /> &quot;Remain still until program terminates.&quot;<br /> <br /> She&#039;d forgotten about the tubes running into her mouth and nose, delivering a precise mixture of chemicals designed to preserve her body in stasis. Her lips were numb, but she could just see the tubes, outlined in that strange red glow. She sucked in another breath, the gurgle echoing in the mostly empty tank.<br /> <br /> &quot;Cryo drain completes in five seconds.&quot;<br /> <br /> Almost done.

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, &quot;sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.&quot;<br /> &quot;Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?&quot; asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> &quot;Roxy&#039;s back, and she doesn&#039;t want to see you! It&#039;s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!&quot; Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna&#039;s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, &quot;You&#039;re divorcing me because she&#039;s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?&quot;<br /> &quot;You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she&#039;s back, I won&#039;t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.&quot; Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> &quot;I... What will happen if I don&#039;t sign them?&quot; Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.&quot;<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna&#039;s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna&#039;s step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group&#039;s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes&#039; mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She&#039;d had enough anyway!<br /> &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll sign them, but I have a request.&quot;<br /> &quot;Spit it out then!&quot; Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> &quot;I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you&#039;ve been with me, you&#039;ve called out Roxanne&#039;s name. Yeah, you&#039;ve made me feel like I&#039;m the worst woman in the world, and I&#039;ve had enough! I&#039;m your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wifeโ€๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulp 101928486111131 YummyStory https://facebook.com/100088816688674 196 1 696,889,579,266,164 2024-01-09 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 1 Learn more 0 YummyStory 120203730072250156 www.yumread.com NONE video https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulppwrw5wskr1i?ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 2024-01-09 02:19 https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/418299780_931929251831246_7529666437076461698_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=QxdrFlOFsqwAX8mjIF6&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&oh=00_AfA49x92lbi6oUEYJSo0XX_n9XZzZjplhlelumaqndaxUw&oe=65A722B3 person_profile 0 YummyStory https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/418731262_857614822807162_7230466056032135579_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=D3tktBnfcwAAX-Fxmt5&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAUTn6f45VNDp7Iw6nAEWXQxkBpaKgsN7Vb3hEOAuBUOA&oe=65A55B35 0 3 YummyStory 0 0 2024-01-09 02:00 View Edit

Elle avait toujours รฉtรฉ une humble servante devant lui.<br /> <br /> &quot;Roxane est de retour, et elle ne veut pas te voir! Il est temps que notre mariage prenne fin. Alors tu dois partir!&quot; dit Bruce Chevalier en croisant ses longues jambes et en s&#039;adossant au canapรฉ. Il รฉtait aussi beau qu&#039;une sculpture grecque cltootshieique, mais son regard รฉtait toujours aussi froid.<br /> <br /> Les lรจvres pรขles de Johanne frรฉmissent comme si elle รฉtait tombรฉe dans l&#039;eau glacรฉe. Elle demanda avec surprise: &quot;Tu divorces parce qu&#039;elle est de retour? Notre mariage n&#039;est-il qu&#039;une plaisanterie pour toi?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Tu n&#039;รฉtais pas celle que je voulais รฉpouser au dรฉpart, et tu as fait fuir Roxane il y a deux ans avec tes sales coups. Maintenant qu&#039;elle est revenue, je ne ferai pas la mรชme erreur. Dรฉpรชche-toi de signer les papiers! Quatre-vingts millions de dollars pour deux ans de ta vie pathรฉtique. Tu devrais considรฉrer que c&#039;est une bonne affaire&quot;. Bruce avait toujours รฉtรฉ douรฉ pour la blesser avec des mots.<br /> <br /> &quot;Je... Que se ptootshieera-t-il si je ne les signe pas?&quot; demanda amรจrement Johanne.<br /> <br /> &quot;Fais comme tu veux. J&#039;ai des moyens de te faire disparaรฎtre. Lรฉgalement ou non, personne ne le remarquera.&quot;<br /> <br /> En tant qu&#039;hรฉritier de la famille la plus riche de la ville de Greyport, Bruce avait toujours รฉtรฉ capable de faire ce qu&#039;il voulait. Qui oserait lui tenir tรชte de toute faรงon?<br /> <br /> Il y a deux ans, la famille de Johanne a dรฉcidรฉ de se lier ร  celle des Chevalier par le mariage.<br /> <br /> Cependant, lors du banquet de fianรงailles de Bruce et Roxane, la demi-sล“ur de Johanne, l&#039;homme a รฉtรฉ droguรฉ. Plus tard dans le salon, ce dernier a confondu Johanne avec Roxane, et ils ont couchรฉ ensemble!<br /> <br /> Le lendemain, le scandale de la relation entre la fille aรฎnรฉe du groupe Fontaine et son beau-frรจre fait la une des journaux.<br /> <br /> L&#039;รฉtat mental de Roxane Fontaine s&#039;est dรฉgradรฉ et elle a รฉtรฉ envoyรฉe dans une maison de repos ร  l&#039;รฉtranger pour y รชtre soignรฉe.<br /> <br /> Tout le monde a pris Johanne comme la briseuse de mรฉnage la plus รฉhontรฉe, la pointant du doigt pour avoir couchรฉ avec son beau-frรจre!<br /> <br /> Bruce la dรฉtestait encore plus et a dรฉcidรฉ que c&#039;รฉtait Johanne qui l&#039;avait droguรฉ et avait grimpรฉ sur son lit.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, la famille Chevalier et la famille Fontaine partagent une amitiรฉ depuis des gรฉnรฉrations. Ce mariage devait d&#039;ailleurs permettre d&#039;approfondir ce lien.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, les aรฎnรฉs des deux familles, Raymond Fontaine et Marguerite Chevalier, ont insistรฉ pour que Bruce et Johanne se marient.<br /> <br /> Les deux derniรจres annรฉes de mariage avaient รฉtรฉ un enfer pour Johanne!<br /> <br /> Sa tolรฉrance et son affection n&#039;ont pas amรฉliorรฉ la situation. En retour, elle a eu droit ร  davantage d&#039;humiliations et de tortures. Johanne est รฉpuisรฉe, tant mentalement que physiquement.<br /> <br /> Et si Bruce voulait divorcer? Elle en avait tootshieez de toute faรงon!<br /> <br /> &quot;Bien, je les signerai, mais j&#039;ai une demande ร  faire.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Crache le morceau alors!&quot; Bruce croyait que Johanne pensait ร  plus d&#039;argent!<br /> <br /> Aprรจs tout, c&#039;est ce qui l&#039;intรฉressait, elle, la femme intrigante.<br /> <br /> &quot;Je veux que tu couches avec moi comme un vrai amoureux, pour une fois. Ces deux derniรจres annรฉes, chaque fois que tu as รฉtรฉ avec moi, tu as prononcรฉ le nom de Roxane. Oui, tu m&#039;as fait sentir que j&#039;รฉtais la pire femme du monde, et j&#039;en ai tootshieez! Je suis ta femme, et je veux que tu cries mon nom en faisant l&#039;amour avec moi pour la derniรจre fois. Je suis Johanne, pas Roxane!&quot; Pour la premiรจre fois, Johanne poussait des cris hystรฉriques et tremblait de colรจre!<br /> <br /> ร€ chaque fois au cours des deux derniรจres annรฉes, Bruce a dรฉlibรฉrรฉment prononcรฉ le mauvais nom! Il avait des relations sexuelles avec elle uniquement pour la punir et l&#039;humilier. Il n&#039;y avait aucun amour lร -dedans!<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, arrรชte tes bรชtises. Quelqu&#039;un m&#039;attend en bas...&quot;<br /> <br /> Johanne s&#039;รฉbroua d&#039;un rire moqueur.<br /> <br /> Alors c&#039;รฉtait probablement Roxane qui l&#039;attendait en bas!<br /> <br /> &quot;Elle peut attendre encore un peu. Cela fait deux ans qu&#039;elle attend, et je pense qu&#039;elle peut รชtre tootshieez patiente pour quelques minutes de plus. Fais ce que j&#039;ai dit ou pas. C&#039;est comme tu veux. Cela ne me dรฉrange pas que les mรฉdias รฉcrivent ร  nouveau des histoires sur moi!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce dรฉtestait le plus รชtre menacรฉ. Ses lรจvres fines se retroussรจrent en un ricanement. Quelques secondes plus tard, il rรฉpondit: &quot;Bien, je vais le faire. Mais ne le regrette pas, Johanne!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce se redressa d&#039;un coup, la saisit par le chemisier et la tira violemment.<br /> <br /> Et puis...<br /> <br /> Ses bas ont รฉtรฉ dรฉchirรฉs...<br /> <br /> L&#039;homme ne lui a mรชme pas donnรฉ d&#039;avertissement avant de lui faire du mal!<br /> <br /> &quot;Ah!&quot; s&#039;รฉcria Johanne en fermant les yeux de douleur!<br /> <br /> Bruce รฉtait aussi impitoyable que jamais, presque cruel.<br /> <br /> Il ne s&#039;est jamais souciรฉ de savoir si cela lui faisait du mal ou non. Ou peut-รชtre que le fait de la voir souffrir lui plaisait tout simplement!<br /> <br /> Bien! Trรจs bien!<br /> <br /> Elle s&#039;en souviendrait, se remรฉmorant la cruautรฉ de cet homme ร  son รฉgard pour le reste de sa vie.<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne. Ah, Johanne. Es-tu heureuse maintenant?&quot;<br /> <br /> Il finit par l&#039;appeler par son nom alors qu&#039;il est sur elle.<br /> <br /> Bien que ce fรปt toute une humiliation, elle put enfin se dรฉbarrtootshieer de la dรฉpression qui l&#039;avait hantรฉe pendant deux annรฉes entiรจres.<br /> <br /> Johanne sentit des larmes couler sur ses joues alors qu&#039;elle disait d&#039;un ton navrรฉ: &quot;Bruce Chevalier! Je ne t&#039;aimerai plus!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce avait entendu ce qu&#039;elle avait dit mais avait choisi de l&#039;ignorer. Il attrapa sa mรขchoire avec mรฉpris, baissa les yeux sur son visage et ricana!<br /> <br /> Elle รฉtait belle!<br /> <br /> Cette femme avait un visage si joli et si innocent, mais son esprit รฉtait rempli de saletรฉs et de stratagรจmes.<br /> <br /> C&#039;รฉtait pourquoi son soi-disant amour pour lui ne ferait que le rendre malade.<br /> <br /> &quot;Signe les papiers du divorce, prends l&#039;argent, et quitte Greyport pour toujours!&quot;<br /> <br /> Aprรจs avoir dit cela, Bruce est parti sans se retourner, la laissant allongรฉe sur le sol, en mauvais รฉtat.<br /> <br /> Deux mois aprรจs...<br /> <br /> Dans un hรดpital.<br /> <br /> &quot;Fรฉlicitations, Mme Fontaine, vous รชtes enceinte de plus d&#039;un enfant. Mais je vous suggรจre d&#039;abandonner un ou deux des fล“tus, sinon il y aura trop de risques!&quot;<br /> <br /> Abandonner?<br /> <br /> Non, elle n&#039;enlรจverait le droit de vivre ร  aucun de ses enfants!<br /> <br /> C&#039;รฉtait ses bรฉbรฉs et seulement les siens! D&#039;une maniรจre ou d&#039;une autre, elle allait les mettre au monde et les รฉlever correctement...<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Quatre ans plus tard!<br /> <br /> Dans l&#039;unitรฉ de soins intensifs d&#039;un hรดpital.<br /> <br /> &quot;Je suis dรฉsolรฉ, nous avons tout essayรฉ, mais Raymond ne va pas mieux. Vous devriez rentrer et lui dire adieu!&quot;<br /> <br /> Shaun Fontaine fronce les sourcils, inquiet, et dit: &quot;Doc, pourriez-vous essayer quelque chose d&#039;autre? Si mon pรจre ne peut pas survivre, tous les biens de la famille Fontaine seront lรฉguรฉs au gouvernement... oh, que faire... aucun d&#039;entre nous n&#039;a vu Johanne au fil des ans. Bon sang, et mon pรจre aussi. Nous ne savons pas ร  quoi il pensait. Comment a-t-il pu ignorer ses petits-fils qui l&#039;accompagnent tous les jours tout en se souciant uniquement de cette misรฉrable fille qui est la mienne!&quot;<br /> <br /> Tout le monde dans la famille Fontaine รฉtait misรฉrable ces jours-ci.<br /> <br /> Raymond, le pรจre de Shaun, a rรฉdigรฉ un รฉtrange testament sur son lit de mort.<br /> <br /> Il a laissรฉ 51% du Groupe Fontaine ร  sa petite-fille aรฎnรฉe, Johanne. Quant aux autres membres de la famille Fontaine, ils n&#039;hรฉriteraient que de 10 %.<br /> <br /> Autrement dit, Johanne deviendrait la plus importante actionnaire du Groupe Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, selon la condition supplรฉmentaire du testament, si Johanne ne se manifeste pas avant la mort de Raymond, toutes les propriรฉtรฉs de la famille Fontaine iront directement ร  l&#039;ร‰tat.<br /> <br /> Ainsi, la famille Fontaine cherchait dรฉsespรฉrรฉment Johanne depuis quelques jours.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, c&#039;รฉtait comme si Johanne avait disparu du monde!<br /> <br /> Personne n&#039;a jamais entendu parler d&#039;elle et ne l&#039;a jamais vue une seule fois depuis qu&#039;elle et Bruce ont divorcรฉ.<br /> <br /> &quot;De mon point de vue, cette fille fait tout simplement exprรจs de s&#039;opposer ร  nous! Personne ne sait oรน elle est allรฉe pendant toutes ces annรฉes!&quot;<br /> <br /> La seconde รฉpouse de Shaun, Ingride Fontaine, jurait furieusement, et son visage se tordit un peu.<br /> <br /> ร€ l&#039;รฉpoque, elle, avec les jumeaux dans le ventre, a expulsรฉ la mรจre de Johanne et Johanne de la famille. Puis Ingride a donnรฉ naissance ร  son troisiรจme fils, pensant que sa position dans la famille รฉtait absolument tootshieurรฉe.<br /> <br /> Elle ne s&#039;รฉtait jamais attendue ร  ce qu&#039;elle n&#039;aurait rien ร  la fin.<br /> <br /> De ses trois enfants, le vieil homme prรฉfรฉrait toujours cette fille Johanne.<br /> <br /> &quot;Papa, maman, grand-pรจre est rรฉveillรฉ!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne... ma Johanne...&quot; Raymond รฉtait dans le coma depuis plus d&#039;une douzaine de jours. Ses heures รฉtaient comptรฉes.<br /> <br /> Et avant sa mort, sa seule prรฉoccupation รฉtait pour sa petite-fille aรฎnรฉe, Johanne.<br /> <br /> Johanne avait disparu depuis quatre ans, et cela inquiรฉtait tellement Raymond. Il soupรงonnait mรชme Ingride d&#039;avoir en quelque sorte tootshietootshieinรฉ sa petite-fille bien-aimรฉe.<br /> <br /> &quot;Papa, Derick, Rayan et Roxane ne sont-ils pas tous tes petits-enfants? Ton testament n&#039;est pas juste! Tu ne leur laisses pratiquement rien! Ils pourraient tout aussi bien sortir dans la rue et mendier pour vivre si tu insistes pour tout donner au gouvernement!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne... Laisse-moi voir Johanne. Tu n&#039;auras pas un sou avant รงa...&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride a criรฉ ร  voix btootshiee: &quot;Cela fait quatre ans, Raymond! Qui sait oรน elle est allรฉe? En plus, si elle tient vraiment ร  toi, comment peut-elle ne pas venir te voir pour la derniรจre fois?&quot;<br /> <br /> Une pointe d&#039;impatience traverse le regard de Roxane, et et elle ne peut s&#039;empรชcher de demander: &quot;Bruce, sais-tu oรน est ptootshieรฉe ma sล“ur?&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce s&#039;est figรฉ parce qu&#039;il ne connaissait pas la rรฉponse ร  cette question.<br /> <br /> Il y a quatre ans, aprรจs leur divorce, Bruce pensait que Johanne allait continuer ร  le harceler ou au moins faire une scรจne!<br /> <br /> Contre toute attente, le lendemain, Johanne a dรฉmรฉnagรฉ. Elle n&#039;a emportรฉ avec elle que ses papiers d&#039;identitรฉ, pas mรชme la carte bancaire qui contenait 8 millions de dollars.<br /> <br /> Et pendant ces quatre annรฉes, il n&#039;y avait eu aucune nouvelle d&#039;elle. Bien sรปr, aussi fier que soit Bruce, il ne l&#039;a jamais contactรฉe non plus.<br /> <br /> Cela faisait quatre ans!<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Bruce ne croyait pas qu&#039;elle se laisserait aller si facilement! Il avait prรฉparรฉ tant de plans pour se dรฉbarrtootshieer d&#039;elle lorsqu&#039;elle se prรฉsenterait. Pourtant, il s&#039;est avรฉrรฉ qu&#039;il n&#039;avait besoin d&#039;aucun d&#039;entre eux!<br /> <br /> Elle a complรจtement disparu de son monde.<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne... Johanne!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, vas-y, grand-pรจre est en train de mourir! Va chercher les mรฉdecins...&quot;<br /> <br /> Le moniteur ECG a indiquรฉ ร  tout le monde que le cล“ur de Raymond s&#039;arrรชtait de battre. En larmes, les membres de sa famille se sont rtootshieemblรฉs autour du lit!<br /> <br /> Ils pleuraient, non pas la mort prochaine de Raymond, mais pour les biens qui allaient รชtre lรฉguรฉs!<br /> <br /> Tape, tape, tape...<br /> <br /> Du couloir de l&#039;hรดpital est venu le bruit des talons hauts!<br /> <br /> Craquer.<br /> <br /> La porte de la salle a รฉtรฉ poussรฉe.<br /> <br /> Celle qui est entrรฉe portait un costume blanc fait sur mesure! Elle tenait dans ses mains une Hermรจs en รฉdition limitรฉe, et des lunettes de soleil surdimensionnรฉes couvraient la majeure partie de son visage! Ses jambes fines sont dรฉjร  tootshieez longues, mais les chaussures ร  talons hauts les mettent encore plus en valeur!<br /> <br /> Elle est entrรฉe avec le genre d&#039;ambiance de beautรฉ glacรฉe, semblant faire baisser la tempรฉrature dans la salle!<br /> <br /> &quot;Qui est cette femme? La connaissions-nous? Qui l&#039;a autorisรฉe ร  รชtre ici?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;C&#039;est moi. Je suis ici pour voir mon grand-pรจre!&quot; Johanne enleva lentement ses lunettes de soleil et se dirigea vers le lit!<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne!&quot; Les autres haletรจrent tous.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tellement changรฉ!<br /> <br /> Ses longs cheveux noirs qu&#039;elle avait l&#039;habitude de garder lisses รฉtaient devenus bruns bouclรฉs. Il avait l&#039;habitude d&#039;atteindre sa taille, mais maintenant le bout dansait autour de son รฉpaule. Elle avait complรจtement changรฉ de la gentille fille d&#039;ร  cรดtรฉ ร  une femme de carriรจre mature et sexy!<br /> <br /> Ce qui est encore plus remarquable, c&#039;est que Johanne est apparue beaucoup plus mince qu&#039;auparavant. Elle mesurait un mรจtre quatre-vingt-dix, mais semblait peser ร  peine quatre-vingt-dix kilos! Entre-temps, l&#039;innocence de cette paire de grands yeux s&#039;รฉtait รฉgalement vidรฉe. Il suffisait de la regarder dans les yeux pour comprendre qu&#039;elle avait dรป vivre beaucoup de choses ces derniรจres annรฉes!<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne? Oh, enfin, Johanne! La famille Fontaine sera ruinรฉe si tu ne te montres pas...&quot;<br /> <br /> Pour la premiรจre fois, tous les membres de la famille Fontaine รฉtaient si heureux de revoir Johanne!<br /> <br /> &quot;Je suis dรฉsolรฉe, grand-pรจre. Je suis dรฉsolรฉe d&#039;รชtre en retard!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne,&quot; Raymond cria et ouvrit ร  peine les yeux,&quot; je suis heureux que tu sois saine et sauve. Oh, je peux enfin รชtre soulagรฉ...&quot;<br /> <br /> Sur ce, Raymond tendit la main, mais la seconde suivante, sa main retomba faiblement sur le lit, sa tรชte pencha et ses yeux se fermรจrent!<br /> <br /> Bip!<br /> <br /> L&#039;ECG bipait, dรฉclarant la mort de Raymond!<br /> <br /> &quot;Grand-pรจre? Grand-pรจre!&quot; cria Johanne, les larmes coulant sur ses joues.<br /> <br /> Elle savait que son grand-pรจre รฉtait le seul Fontaine qui se souciait d&#039;elle!<br /> <br /> &quot;Ah, allez, arrรชte ces fausses larmes! Tu aurais รฉtรฉ lร  depuis longtemps si tu t&#039;รฉtais souciรฉ de ton grand-pรจre! Maintenant qu&#039;il est temps de parler d&#039;hรฉritage, tu es venu?&quot; dit Derick, le fils aรฎnรฉ de Shaun. Le sarcasme dans son ton รฉtait รฉvident.<br /> <br /> Il n&#039;avait jamais pris Johanne comme sa sล“ur aรฎnรฉe, et maintenant qu&#039;elle รฉtait la plus grande bรฉnรฉficiaire de l&#039;hรฉritage de Raymond, Derick la dรฉtestait encore plus!<br /> <br /> &quot;ร‡a suffit. Appelle quelqu&#039;un et organise d&#039;abord les funรฉrailles&quot;, dit Shaun. Raisonnablement affligรฉ, il tapote l&#039;รฉpaule de Johanne.&quot; Johanne, maintenant que tu es de retour, reviens ร  la maison!&quot;<br /> <br /> Les lรจvres d&#039;Ingride se retroussรจrent avec dรฉdain, mais elle disait joyeusement: &quot;C&#039;est รงa, viens vivre avec nous ! De plus, ton grand-pรจre a fait un testament sur son lit de mort. Il veut que tu hรฉrites de 51 % du Groupe Fontaine! La maladie a dรป lui embrouiller le cerveau. Comment a-t-il pu laisser une entreprise aussi importante ร  une fille qui n&#039;y connaรฎt rien? Johanne, tu es encore jeune et naรฏve. Laisse ton pรจre continuer ร  diriger l&#039;entreprise!&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride a dit cela comme si Johanne รฉtait censรฉe suivre ses instructions. Au fond d&#039;elle-mรชme, elle รฉtait convaincue que cette derniรจre รฉtait aussi stupide que sa salope de mรจre!<br /> <br /> Au moment oรน Johanne reviendrait dans leur maison, elle serait sous le contrรดle total d&#039;Ingride!<br /> <br /> Johanne est restรฉe sans expression. Elle dit froidement: &quot;Je ne veux pas penser ร  cela maintenant. Je veux juste m&#039;occuper de grand-pรจre d&#039;abord!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oui, oui, tu as raison sur ce point. L&#039;enterrement de Raymond est la chose la plus importante maintenant. Tout le reste peut รชtre remis ร  plus tard!&quot;<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> C&#039;รฉtait en fin d&#039;aprรจs-midi aprรจs que la maison mortuaire ait rรฉcupรฉrรฉ le corps de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Johanne est sortie de l&#039;hรดpital avec les autres!<br /> <br /> &quot;Oรน habites-tu? Mon chauffeur te ramรจnera!&quot; dit Bruce. Sa voix รฉtait un peu rauque parce que Johanne ne lui avait pas adressรฉ la parole une seule fois avant cela!<br /> <br /> Johanne sourit poliment et serre les clรฉs de la voiture dans sa main. &quot;Merci, mais c&#039;est moi qui ai conduit jusqu&#039;ici!&quot;<br /> <br /> Le regard indiffรฉrent sur son visage donnait l&#039;impression qu&#039;elle รฉtait simplement polie envers un parfait inconnu.<br /> <br /> Pourtant, Roxane a compris que Bruce รฉtait en train de draguer Johanne. Son visage s&#039;est tootshieombri et, rapidement, elle a pris affectueusement le bras de ce dernier en lui disant: &quot;Johanne, pourquoi ne reviendrais-tu pas vivre avec nous? Au moins, tu ne seras pas seule, et...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;C&#039;est plus facile pour moi de rester dans un hรดtel. Au revoir!&quot; Johanne a poliment fait un signe de la main et s&#039;est dirigรฉe vers le parking souterrain!<br /> <br /> Bientรดt, une Bentley argentรฉe est sortie du parking et a dรฉmarrรฉ en trombe devant la foule!<br /> <br /> &quot;Il semble que ma sล“ur ait bien vรฉcu ces derniรจres annรฉes! Elle pouvait profiter d&#039;une vie si riche sans aucune aide de la famille!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce n&#039;a pas rรฉpondu.<br /> <br /> Pendant les quatre annรฉes d&#039;absence de Johanne, Bruce n&#039;a pas รฉpousรฉ Roxane. De plus, pendant cette pรฉriode, il s&#039;est rendu compte que cette derniรจre n&#039;รฉtait tout simplement pas celle qu&#039;il lui fallait.<br /> <br /> La seule raison pour laquelle il n&#039;a pas rompu avec Roxane รฉtait ร  cause de sa famille. La famille Fontaine รฉtait riche, mais ce n&#039;รฉtait rien comparรฉ ร  la famille Chevalier. Cependant, les aรฎnรฉs des deux familles รฉtaient des amis proches! C&#039;est pourquoi la famille Chevalier avait toujours pris soin de la famille Fontaine!<br /> <br /> ร€ part cela, il y avait une autre raison cruciale. Il y a dix ans, Bruce a failli se noyer en nageant, et c&#039;est Roxane qui l&#039;a sauvรฉ! Depuis lors, il a jurรฉ qu&#039;il aimerait et protรฉgerait cette fille pour le reste de sa vie!<br /> <br /> &quot;Johanne a toujours fait des efforts depuis qu&#039;elle est toute petite ! Elle est intelligente et douรฉe avec les hommes ! Tu vois ses beaux vรชtements et sa voiture ? Elle a dรป se mettre en mรฉnage avec un homme riche ! Contrairement ร  elle, Roxane, tu es toujours stupide et innocente, et les gens essaient tous de profiter de toi!&quot; Ingride semblait faire l&#039;รฉloge de Johanne, mais il n&#039;รฉtait pas difficile de comprendre ce qu&#039;elle sous-entendait.<br /> <br /> &quot;Maman, de quoi parles-tu?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, je veux juste que tu apprennes de Johanne. Tu vois comme elle se dรฉbrouille bien? Les filles comme elle ne nous inquiรจtent jamais, oรน qu&#039;elles aillent. Il n&#039;y a plus beaucoup de filles aussi intelligentes qu&#039;elle!&quot;<br /> <br /> Bruce รฉtait en quelque sorte un peu contrariรฉ.&quot; Ingride, Roxane, je dois y aller. J&#039;ai une rรฉunion importante ce soir.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oui, bien sรปr. Conduis prudemment, d&#039;accord?&quot; dit Ingride avec un sourire flatteur, de peur d&#039;offenser le futur mari prometteur de sa fille!<br /> <br /> Bruce n&#039;a rien dit de plus, s&#039;est retournรฉ et est montรฉ dans une voiture...<br /> <br /> Aprรจs avoir vu la voiture de Bruce quitter les lieux, Roxane tape du pied de colรจre. Elle se plaint: &quot;Tout est de ta faute, maman! Tu n&#039;aurais jamais dรป mettre cette salope de Johanne dans son lit il y a six ans! Il n&#039;a plus jamais parlรฉ de m&#039;รฉpouser! Et maintenant qu&#039;elle est de retour, qu&#039;est-ce qu&#039;on va faire?&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride grince des dents. Ce dont sa fille se plaignait รฉtait ce qui lui faisait le plus de peine.<br /> <br /> Elle avait tout bien conรงu il y a six ans.<br /> <br /> D&#039;abord, elle a droguรฉ Johanne. Puis elle a envoyรฉ la jeune fille directement dans la chambre de Bruce, convaincue que ce dernier รฉtait trop ivre pour faire quoi que ce soit.<br /> <br /> Aprรจs cela, Ingride a informรฉ un groupe de Paparazzi, leur suggรฉrant d&#039;รฉcrire un drame sur la faรงon dont Johanne s&#039;est jetรฉe dans les bras de son beau-frรจre. Elle s&#039;attendait ร  ce que cette fille soit privรฉe de son droit d&#039;hรฉritage aprรจs avoir dรฉshonorรฉ la famille.<br /> <br /> Mais elle ne se doutait pas que cela se retournerait contre elle.<br /> <br /> Bruce a en fait couchรฉ avec Johanne.<br /> <br /> Et puis les choses lui ont รฉchappรฉ. Sous la pression de Raymond Fontaine et de Marguerite Chevalier, Bruce finit par รฉpouser Johanne.<br /> <br /> En pensant ร  cela, Ingride dit: &quot;Je l&#039;ai fait pour toi, petite sotte. Bon sang, tout รงa ร  cause de ton grand-pรจre! Ce vieux con a toujours favorisรฉ cette salope de Johanne! EEh bien, maintenant que le vieux est mort, voyons qui peut dรฉfendre la petite pute cette fois-ci!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Mais maman...&quot; Roxane รฉtait toujours inquiรจte.<br /> <br /> Mรชme si Bruce avait รฉtรฉ bon avec elle pendant des annรฉes, elle pouvait voir la frigiditรฉ dans ses yeux.<br /> <br /> L&#039;homme a rarement souri depuis qu&#039;il a divorcรฉ de Johanne.<br /> <br /> Au fil des ans, il รฉtait devenu totalement un bourreau de travail. Il fallait parfois trois ou deux mois ร  Roxane pour le voir une fois.<br /> <br /> &quot;Ne t&#039;inquiรจte pas. Cette idiote de Johanne est aussi stupide que sa dรฉfunte mรจre! Nous sommes en train de nous รฉloigner d&#039;elle. Pas avant qu&#039;elle ne renonce d&#039;abord ร  sa part d&#039;hรฉritage...&quot;<br /> <br /> Dix jours plus tard, c&#039;รฉtait l&#039;enterrement de Raymond.<br /> <br /> Il pleuvait bruine. Tous les membres de la famille Fontaine รฉtaient arrivรฉs au cimetiรจre sauf Johanne. En plus de cela, les meilleures personnes de Greyport se sont รฉgalement prรฉsentรฉes pour rendre hommage.<br /> <br /> Sans parler des journalistes qui se rtootshieemblaient devant le cimetiรจre.<br /> <br /> Aprรจs tout, Raymond Fontaine รฉtait un gros bonnet ร  Greyport. Alors, bien sรปr, ses funรฉrailles รฉtaient bien ciblรฉes.<br /> <br /> &quot;J&#039;ai entendu dire que Raymond voulait que la fille aรฎnรฉe de la famille Fontaine hรฉrite du Groupe Fontaine.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Oh, mon dieu, cette fille est vraiment astucieuse. Elle a sรฉduit son beau-frรจre il y a six ans et a forcรฉ sa sล“ur ร  partir. Puis elle est devenue celle qui s&#039;est mariรฉe dans la famille Chevalier ร  la place de sa sล“ur, et maintenant elle est la directrice du Groupe Fontaine. C&#039;est impressionnant!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Ha! Et alors? C&#039;est juste une garce intrigante. Elle a รฉtรฉ mise ร  la porte par la famille Chevalier, n&#039;est-ce pas? Une telle femme est tout simplement dรฉgoรปtante!&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride รฉtait folle de joie en entendant les chuchotements de la foule. S&#039;efforรงant de maintenir le regard triste sur son visage, elle a dit: &quot;Puis-je avoir votre attention s&#039;il vous plaรฎt? Tout d&#039;abord, je voudrais tous vous remercier d&#039;รชtre venus aux funรฉrailles de Raymond, et...&quot;<br /> <br /> Un journaliste intervint: &quot;Madame Fontaine , est-il vrai que Johanne va prendre la relรจve du Groupe Fontaine en tant que nouvelle dirigeante?&quot;<br /> <br /> Ingride marqua une pause avant de rรฉpondre: &quot;Je ne vais pas รชtre dรฉrangรฉ par d&#039;autres choses en ce jour extrรชmement pรฉnible. Mais pour une entreprise aussi grande que le Groupe Fontaine, la parole d&#039;un seul homme ne peut faire effet. Nous avons besoin d&#039;une rรฉunion du conseil d&#039;administration pour choisir le bon directeur exรฉcutif!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Madame Fontaine, pourquoi Johanne n&#039;est-elle pas lร  un jour si important?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Ha, c&#039;est la question que vous devriez lui poser...&quot;<br /> <br /> Pendant qu&#039;elle parlait, ร  l&#039;extรฉrieur du cimetiรจre vinrent soudain des bruits de moteurs.<br /> <br /> Une longue Rolls-Royce pรฉnรฉtrait dans le cimetiรจre, suivie d&#039;une flotte de Mercedes.<br /> <br /> &quot;Regardez cette plaque d&#039;immatriculation. Il semble que ce soit la voiture de M. Grimm!&quot; Les journalistes sont tout excitรฉs et se prรฉcipitent vers la Rolls-Royce.<br /> <br /> Oui, cette Rolls-Royce appartenait ร  Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Il y avait deux jeunes hommes riches bien connus ร  Greyport. L&#039;un d&#039;eux รฉtait Bruce Chevalier, et l&#039;autre รฉtait Jayden Grimm.<br /> <br /> Deuxiรจme fils du magnat des casinos de la ville de Venturas, il dirigeait รฉgalement une sociรฉtรฉ de divertissement appelรฉe Starlight Media. Plusieurs nouvelles stars du showbiz รฉtaient des artistes sous le contrรดle de sa sociรฉtรฉ.<br /> <br /> Contrairement ร  Bruce, qui gardait un profil bas, Jayden avait toujours รฉtรฉ un homme de publicitรฉ.<br /> <br /> Les portes de la Rolls-Royce s&#039;ouvrirent lentement et Jayden sortit le premier.<br /> <br /> &quot;Wow, c&#039;est vraiment M. Grimm!&quot; La presse s&#039;avance comme des mouches qui hument le sang.<br /> <br /> Aprรจs que Jayden soit sorti de la voiture, il s&#039;est tournรฉ de l&#039;autre cรดtรฉ et a aidรฉ une femme vรชtue de noir ร  sortir de la voiture comme un vrai gentleman.<br /> <br /> &quot;Est-ce...? Wow, c&#039;est Johanne Fontaine!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;C&#039;est une blague. Que faitGrimm avec une femme comme elle?&quot;<br /> <br /> Comme ils รฉtaient tous รฉtonnรฉs, un ร  un, sont sortis deux adorables gosses vรชtus de minuscules costumes noirs.<br /> <br /> Les garรงons doivent avoir entre 3 et 4 ans.<br /> <br /> Et cela a fait l&#039;effet d&#039;une bombe, suscitant l&#039;intรฉrรชt de tous!

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed. <br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, &quot;sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.&quot;<br /> &quot;Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?&quot; asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> &quot;Roxy&#039;s back, and she doesn&#039;t want to see you! It&#039;s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!&quot; Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna&#039;s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, &quot;You&#039;re divorcing me because she&#039;s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?&quot;<br /> &quot;You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she&#039;s back, I won&#039;t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.&quot; Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> &quot;I... What will happen if I don&#039;t sign them?&quot; Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.&quot;<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna&#039;s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna&#039;s step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group&#039;s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes&#039; mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She&#039;d had enough anyway!<br /> &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll sign them, but I have a request.&quot;<br /> &quot;Spit it out then!&quot; Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> &quot;I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you&#039;ve been with me, you&#039;ve called out Roxanne&#039;s name. Yeah, you&#039;ve made me feel like I&#039;m the worst woman in the world, and I&#039;ve had enough! I&#039;m your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wifeโ€๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulp 101928486111131 YummyStory https://facebook.com/100088816688674 196 1 675,322,211,162,799 2024-01-08 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 1 Learn more 0 YummyStory 120205205203630506 www.yumread.com NONE video https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulppwrw5wskr1i?ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 2024-01-08 00:36 https://scontent.frkh1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/416296352_757211329074292_421944688918275605_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=_0Y1M0E-JV0AX843oQQ&_nc_oc=AQkCNL5CCYMHcWseAHQnJkAfvngAOztxhGY4SEZwRoJojVRKlDaUbBwTBI_6TmHYrx4&_nc_ht=scontent.frkh1-1.fna&oh=00_AfClXK58RAUxhmhUkjf9VgL57GW2LNnKGKDXhuM6CDzR5Q&oe=65A64111 person_profile 0 YummyStory https://scontent.frkh1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/416245425_24514645444816990_3154116458071244849_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=-b_QwYYdxyUAX8-Ljed&_nc_ht=scontent.frkh1-1.fna&oh=00_AfDg4QArboqvI7nSLOVnAXQH3gHyRuUQagtNnJ3Ioxki8w&oe=65A67FEF 0 3 YummyStory 0 0 2024-01-08 02:00 View Edit

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, &quot;sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.&quot;<br /> &quot;Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?&quot; asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> &quot;Roxy&#039;s back, and she doesn&#039;t want to see you! It&#039;s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!&quot; Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna&#039;s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, &quot;You&#039;re divorcing me because she&#039;s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?&quot;<br /> &quot;You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she&#039;s back, I won&#039;t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.&quot; Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> &quot;I... What will happen if I don&#039;t sign them?&quot; Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.&quot;<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna&#039;s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna&#039;s step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group&#039;s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes&#039; mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She&#039;d had enough anyway!<br /> &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll sign them, but I have a request.&quot;<br /> &quot;Spit it out then!&quot; Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> &quot;I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you&#039;ve been with me, you&#039;ve called out Roxanne&#039;s name. Yeah, you&#039;ve made me feel like I&#039;m the worst woman in the world, and I&#039;ve had enough! I&#039;m your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wifeโ€๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulp 101928486111131 YummyStory https://facebook.com/100088816688674 196 3 6,813,070,508,803,019 2024-01-09 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 1 Learn more 0 YummyStory 120203699335770156 www.yumread.com NONE video https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulppwrw5wskr1i?ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 2024-01-08 01:10 https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/417556741_6894345173995229_2037363161738232547_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=zNSyw8pSr2IAX8ySEE1&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=00_AfBD6zDjwv1Msb4STqFHKnAMfvaPNUvhVSXc2JJuPNiw1A&oe=65A6F641 person_profile 0 YummyStory https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/414488141_904540627558109_5852094030797267983_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=HEeE3jAIZzUAX8n4TNt&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=00_AfBgBSzcU2FfPB36euZitZfQ_xYcw9XrQyuPwTH2o89Tfg&oe=65A5D750 0 3 YummyStory 0 0 2024-01-08 02:00 View Edit

No 2024-01-12 09:36 active 90 0 3725892890975012 ๐Ÿ‘‰Click to Read more about๐Ÿ“œ<The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife>๐Ÿ“œ 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. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed. <br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, &quot;sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony.&quot;<br /> &quot;Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?&quot; asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> &quot;Roxy&#039;s back, and she doesn&#039;t want to see you! It&#039;s time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!&quot; Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna&#039;s pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, &quot;You&#039;re divorcing me because she&#039;s back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?&quot;<br /> &quot;You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she&#039;s back, I won&#039;t make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain.&quot; Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> &quot;I... What will happen if I don&#039;t sign them?&quot; Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> &quot;Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice.&quot;<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna&#039;s family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna&#039;s step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group&#039;s eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes&#039; mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She&#039;d had enough anyway!<br /> &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll sign them, but I have a request.&quot;<br /> &quot;Spit it out then!&quot; Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> &quot;I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you&#039;ve been with me, you&#039;ve called out Roxanne&#039;s name. Yeah, you&#039;ve made me feel like I&#039;m the worst woman in the world, and I&#039;ve had enough! I&#039;m your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!&quot; For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> &quot;Oh, stop the nonsense. There&#039;s someone waiting for me downstairs...&quot;<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> &quot;She can wait a little longer. She&#039;s been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don&#039;t mind the media writing stories about me again!&quot;<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, &quot;Fine, I&#039;ll do it. But don&#039;t you regret it, Joanna!&quot;<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> &quot;AH!&quot; Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man&#039;s cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> &quot;Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?&quot;<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, &quot;Bruce Everett! I won&#039;t love you anymore!&quot;<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> &quot;Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!&quot;<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> &quot;Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!&quot;<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn&#039;t getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!&quot;<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, &quot;Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can&#039;t make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don&#039;t know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!&quot;<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun&#039;s father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond&#039;s death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> &quot;The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!&quot;<br /> Shaun&#039;s second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna&#039;s mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> &quot;Dad, Mom, Grandpa&#039;s awake!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... my Joanna...&quot; Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> &quot;Dad, aren&#039;t Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann... Let me see Joann. You won&#039;t get a penny before that...&quot;<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, &quot;It&#039;s been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she&#039;s gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?&quot;<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne&#039;s eyes, and she couldn&#039;t help but ask, &quot;Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?&quot;<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn&#039;t believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn&#039;t need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> &quot;Joann... Joann!&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, come on, Grandpa&#039;s dying! Go get the doctors...&quot;<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond&#039;s heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond&#039;s approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> &quot;Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s me. I&#039;m here to see my grandpa!&quot; Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> &quot;Joanna!&quot; The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> &quot;Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry, grandpa. I&#039;m sorry I&#039;m late!&quot;<br /> &quot;Joann,&quot; Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, &quot;I&#039;m glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved...&quot;<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond&#039;s death!<br /> &quot;Grandpa? Grandpa!&quot; Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> &quot;Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it&#039;s time to talk about inheritance, you came?&quot; said Shaun&#039;s eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond&#039;s legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> &quot;Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!&quot; said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. &quot;Joann, now that you&#039;re back, move back home!&quot;<br /> Ingrid&#039;s lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, &quot;That&#039;s right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you&#039;re still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business.&quot;<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid&#039;s full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, &quot;I don&#039;t want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, yeah, you&#039;re right on this. Raymond&#039;s funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed.&quot;<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond&#039;s body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> &quot;Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!&quot; Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. &quot;Thanks, but I drove here.&quot;<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce&#039;s arm affectionately, saying, &quot;Joann, why don&#039;t you move back in with us? At least, you don&#039;t have to be alone, and...&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!&quot; Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> &quot;It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.&quot;<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> &quot;Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you.&quot; Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> &quot;Mom, what are you talking about?&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she&#039;s been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren&#039;t many girls as smart as her anymore.&quot;<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. &quot;Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight.&quot;<br /> &quot;Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?&quot; said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter&#039;s promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce&#039;s car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, &quot;It&#039;s all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce&#039;s bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna&#039;s back, what are we gonna do?&quot;<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce&#039;s room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law&#039;s arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, &quot;I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man&#039;s dead, let&#039;s see who can stand up for her this time&quot;<br /> &quot;But mom...&quot; Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first...&quot;<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond&#039;s funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> &quot;I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she&#039;s the director of the Haynes Group. That&#039;s impressive!&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha! So what? She&#039;s just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn&#039;t she? Such a woman is simply disgusting.&quot;<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, &quot;May I have your attention, please? First of all, I&#039;d like to thank you all for coming to Raymond&#039;s funeral, and...&quot;<br /> A reporter cut in, &quot;Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?&quot;<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, &quot;I&#039;m not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man&#039;s word alone can&#039;t take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director.&quot;<br /> &quot;Mrs. Haynes, why isn&#039;t Joanna here on such an important day?&quot;<br /> &quot;Ha, that&#039;s the question you should ask her...&quot;<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> &quot;Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm&#039;s car!&quot; The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company&#039;s control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> &quot;Wow, it&#039;s really Mr. Grimm!&quot; The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> &quot;Is this...? Wow, it&#039;s Joanna Haynes!&quot;<br /> &quot;You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?&quot;<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone&#039;s interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title &quot;<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wifeโ€๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/4lfuzgj3fxho1 101928486111131 YummyStory https://facebook.com/100088816688674 196 1 356,390,740,351,023 2024-01-09 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 1 Learn more 0 YummyStory 120204863226070327 www.yumread.com NONE video https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/4lfuzgj3fxho1mquqxz3bfdf?ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 2024-01-09 02:54 https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/414527414_7079004608862082_3059020863548105243_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=vrdKXN7X0kAAX9b5-CK&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=00_AfDWqOfm8Jpo9CaSRfZjDPDYsfl6FHKpzegsE0tnA4ayCQ&oe=65A703A6 person_profile 0 YummyStory https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/414552343_944843937067400_5375739469801546413_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=x3StI0XKDbAAX_B9ieX&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=00_AfAWK6s_hJkCyFUDoJz_6PKznLjIb9cG3aYe81V4PnGNIg&oe=65A60247 0 3 YummyStory 0 0 2024-01-09 02:00 View Edit
